Tenement Saga: The Lower East Side and Early Jewish American Writers

A dear friend gave this to me as a gift. I had never heard of this book or author previously.
I enjoyed this immensely. I learned so much about Chesterton, Shakespeare, Twain, and Hopkins. I feel more connected to them and their works & look forward to reading more of them.
