"Emma Lazarus's 'passionate, ardent life' is laid out sumptuously in Esther Schor's evocative biography. It is unlikely that, for a general audience, it will be surpassed any time in the near future."
--Commentary
"In this luminous, enthralling biography, Schor recovers one of the outstanding women of nineteenth-century letters, who while inventing her life as an American Jewish writer discovered a larger poetic mission for the entire nation."
-Sean Wilentz, author of The Rise of American Democracy: Jefferson to Lincoln
"Schor, herself a poet of authentic distinction, has composed a very moving and highly useful biographical critique of Emma Lazarus, a permanent poet in American and in Jewish tradition."
-Harold Bloom, author of The Western Canon
"It is a rare book indeed that so skillfully melds biography, literary analysis, and cultural history. In describing Emma Lazarus and her circle, Schor tells the story of American Jewry in the nineteenth century, paints a portrait of literary New York in one of its heydays, explicates many beautiful and long-neglected poems, and instills in us a canny affection for a subject who is forceful and sometimes overbearing but also brilliant and compassionate. Schor's prose is as lyrical and rich in images as the poetry she describes in this intimate, often touching volume."
-Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon
