Zangwill was born in London on 21 January 1864, in a family of Jewish immigrants from Czarist Russia. His father, Moses Zangwill, was from what is now Latvia, and his mother, Ellen Hannah Marks Zangwill, was from what is now Poland. He dedicated his life to championing the cause of the oppressed. Jewish emancipation, women's suffrage, assimilationism, territorialism and Zionism were all fertile fields for his pen. His brother was novelist Louis Zangwill,[1] and his son was the prominent British psychologist, Oliver Zangwill. Zangwill received his early schooling in Plymouth and Bristol. When he was nine years old Zangwill was enrolled in the Jews' Free School in Spitalfields in east London, a school for Jewish immigrant children. The school offered a strict course of both secular and religious studies while supplying clothing, food, and health care for the scholars; today one of its four houses is named Zangwill in his honour. At this school he excelled and even taught part-time, moving up to become a full-fledged teacher. While teaching, he studied for his degree in 1884 from the University of London, earning a BA with triple honours. [more]

This book depicts Victorian Jewish London through the stories of Esther Ansell, a girl from the East End ghettos who wins a writing prize, and her admirer Raphael Leon, a publisher from a wealthy background, with a rich supporting cast of rabbis, poets, philanthropists and paupers. It contains themes of social class, assimilation of Jews into gentile society, Zionism and the tension between religious and secular lifestyles. The characters were sympathetic, if quite stylised, and there was a consistent humour and warmth to the book. However I enjoyed this book most as a historical document. I was fascinated to experience how the Jews of Zangwill's day lived and what they talked about, and to connect them with London Jews of the present day. It turns out that Zangwill is quite a historically important personality, for his literary contributions and for his role in early Zionism.the impression created by this book is that the author is intelligent and sensitive to people's motivations. I would like to find out more about him. [more]

It Was April Ere I Began To Draw Near My Destination. The Roads Were Still Muddy And Marshy; But In that Happy Interval Between The Winter Gray And The Summer Haze The Breath Of Spring made The World Beautiful. The Stri River Sparkled, Even The Ruined castles Looked Gay, While The Pleasure-Grounds Of The Lords Of The Soil Filled the Air With Sweet Scents. One Day, As I Was Approaching a Village Up A Somewhat Steep Road, A Little Gray-Haired man Driving a Wagon Holding Some Sacks Of Flour Passed me, Whistling cheerfully. We Gave Each Other The "Peace" Salutation, Knowing ourselves Brother Jews, If Only By Our Furred caps And Ear-Curls. Presently, In pity Of His Beast, I Saw Him Jump Down And Put His Shoulder To The Wheel; But He Had Not Made Fifty Paces When His Horse Slipped and Fell. I Hastened up To Help Him Extricate The Animal; And Before We Had Succeeded in setting The Horse On His Four Feet Again, The Driver'S Cheeriness Under Difficulties Had Made Me Feel Quite Friendly Towards Him.
