The Image of the Jew in American Literature

Harap (1904-98), affiliated for many decades with Jewish Currents magazine, produced a comprehensive study of the literary representations of Jews in American literature before the 20th century to augment the scattered and specialized accounts that existed at the time. The 1974 first and 1978 second editions were published by The Jewish Publication Society of America; the current work is a paperbound reprint of the second edition..
