Hardcover. Etat : Good. The first important American Jewish poet, Emma Lazarus is remembered above all for her classic sonnet 'The New Colossus,' whose phrases ('Give me your tired, your poor.') have become part of the American language. Inthis new selection, John Hollander demonstrates that in her relatively brief life she achieved real poetic mastery in a variety of modes. Influenced both by her poetic mentor Emerson, and by the poets whose work she translated, including Heinrich Heine and Solomon Ibn Gabirol, she forged a poetic style of high technical accomplishment and moral passage. Long neglected, her work is revealed in this volume as an important contribution to American poetry.
