The Quest for Self-Expression: Anzia Yezierska’s Portrayal of America as a Fake Golden Country.
Atlantis (0210-6124). 6/1/2023, Vol. 45 Issue 1, p37-55. 19p.
The aim of this study is to show how the experience of Eastern European Jewish women in America challenged the discourse of the American Dream that they had previously fabricated in their homelands at the turn of the twentieth century. As portrayed by the Polish-born American writer Anzia Yezierska, whose family migrated to New York at the time, these women initially aim their efforts towards achieving happiness through their belief that America provides equal opportunities for upward mobility. However, they eventually question their prospects of improvement and progress by creating their own Jewish American experience. In two of her short stories, “How I Found America” and “The Miracle,” Yezierska reproduces the hopelessness of her Jewish characters after they have faced the burdens of social exclusion and the classist policies of philanthropic programs of integration. Rather than completely assimilating American standards, the protagonists seek to build their own American experience while maintaining their Jewish cultural background, which paradoxically finds expression through institutional courses designed for newcomers.

THE DEVIL, CAPITALISM, AND FRANK NORRIS: DEFINING THE "READING FIELD" FOR SUNDAY NEWSPAPER FICTION, 1870-1910.
American Periodicals. 2004, Vol. 14 Issue 1, p91-112. 22p.
The article discusses the emergence of Sunday editions of daily metropolitan newspapers. It states that the Sunday edition of newspapers grew both in number and size and became the chief weekly reading for millions of Americans. Typically selling after 1880 for the low price of five cents, the Sunday edition became extraordinarily popular, with its circulation invariably far surpassing that of any single weekday edition of the same paper. Extra editorial attention and funds were lavished on Sunday editions. Many feature articles printed in the Sunday editions focused on "informing" readers of what life was like for people in "exotic," less developed nations or regions, within the U.S., all the while implicitly or explicitly measuring their practices against the yardstick of "civilized," urban, middle-class of the U.S. Given their wide circulation and large audience, Sunday newspapers undoubtedly had great cultural influence. By all accounts, by 1890s Sunday newspaper reading had become somewhat of a societal obsession.

JEWISH AMERICAN LITERATURE.
Continuum Encyclopedia of American Literature. Letter J, p589-596. 8p.
This article presents facts about Jewish American literature. Over the past hundred years, with the gradual liberalization of American culture and the decline of overt anti-Semitism after the Holocaust, Jewish American literature has become a major current in the mainstream of 20th-century American letters. The other predominant characteristic of Jewish American writing is yidishkayt, the inescapable residue of Eastern European life in the shtetlakh. After the war, achievements in Jewish American literature, especially fiction, reached a peak.
