Israel Zangwill (1864-1926) was a British-Jewish humorist and
writer, perhaps best known for his play, The Melting Pot. When it
which opened in Washington D.C. in 1909, President Theodore
Roosevelt leaned over the edge of his box and shouted, "That's a
great play, Mr. Zangwill, that's a great play." He is also know for
his picaresque novel, The King of the Schnorrers, and The Big Bow
Mystery -- the first locked room murder novel.. In The Next
Religion, written in 1912, Zangwill attacked traditional religion
and what he called the new religion--"the Revelation of Science"
and "the God of Law" -- which he thought would become as
ritualistic and dogmatic as the old.
