Among the Nations, edited by Ludwig Lewisohn
- Abstract
Ludwig Lewisohn, in his introduction to Among the Nations, describes the continuous struggle of the Jew to maintain the essence of Judaism as the “central moral fact of Western history.” And around this act of integrity the Gentile writer, from Chaucer to Thomas Wolfe, has wilfully perpetuated an “evil and baseless myth.” As an antidote, Mr. Lewisohn has collected three short stories and a play, by Gentile writers, which, purportedly, treat the Jew as a person—neither good nor bad, but, somehow, unique and universal in his Jewishness.
