Irving Howe. Saul Bellow. Lionel Trilling. These are names that
immediately come to mind when one thinks of the New York Jewish
intellectuals of the late thirties and forties.
And yet the New York Jewish intellectual community was far
larger and more diverse than is commonly thought. In "The Other New
York Jewish Intellectuals" we find a group of thinkers who may not
have had widespread celebrity status but who fostered a real sense
of community within the Jewish world in these troubled times. What
unified these men and women was their commitment and allegiance to
the Jewish people.
Here we find Hayim Greenberg, Henry Hurwitz, Marie Syrkin,
Maurice Samuel, Ben Halperin, Trude Weiss-Rosmarin, Morris Raphael
Cohen, Ludwig Lewisohn, Milton Steinberg, Will Herberg, A. M.
Klein, and Mordecai Kaplan, and many others. Divided into 3
sections--Opinion Makers, Men of Letters, and Spiritual
Leaders--the book will be of particular interest to students and
others interested in Jewish studies, American intellectual history,
as well as history of the 30s and 40s.
