From Plotzk to Boston

The "infant phenomenon" in literature is rarer than in more physical branches of art, but its productions are not likely to be of value outside the doting domestic circle. Even Pope who "lisped in numbers for the numbers came," did not add to our Anthology from his cradle, though he may therein have acquired his monotonous rocking-metre. Immaturity of mind and experience, so easily disguised on the stage or the music-stooleven by adultsis more obvious in the field of pure intellect. The contribution with which Mary Antin makes her dbut in letters is, however, saved from the emptiness of embryonic thinking by being a record of a real experience, the greatest of her life; her journey from Poland to Boston. Even so, and remarkable as her description is for a girl of elevenfor it was at this age that she first wrote the thing in Yiddish, though she was thirteen when she translated it into Englishit would scarcely be worth publishing merely as a literary curiosity. But it happens to possess an extraneous value. For, despite the great wave of Russian immigration into the United States, and despite the noble spirit in which the Jews of America have grappled with the invasion, we still know too little of the inner feelings of the people themselves,[Pg 7] nor do we adequately realize what magic vision of free America lures them on to face the great journey to the other side of the world. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
