Anzia Yezierska was a Jewish American novelist and short story writer, best known for her portrayals of Jewish immigrant life on New York City’s Lower East Side. In this video, the celebrated literary scholar Dr. Ruth Wisse examines Yezierska's most famous novel, "Bread Givers," which explores how a young Jewish woman leaves her traditional community. To Professor Wisse, the "success" that the young woman experiences in casting off her Jewish commitments is actually a deep kind of failure, one that is far too often celebrated in American Jewish life.
This excerpt is drawn from episode one of Professor Wisse's online course, "The New York Intellectuals: The First Generation." You can enroll in the course for free here: https://lp.tikvah.org/intellectuals-p...
