âJinny the Carrierâ is a 1913 novel by British author Israel Zangwill (1864â1926). Contents include: âJinny On Her Roundsâ, âJinny At Her Homesâ, âWill On His Wayâ, âWill At Homeâ, âSunday At Chipstoneâ, âComedy Of Corydon And Amaryllisâ, etc. Zangwill was a leading figure in cultural Zionism during the 19th century, as well as close friend of father of modern political Zionism, Theodor Herzl. In later life, he renounced the seeking of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. A notable portion of Zangwill's work concentrated on ghetto life and earned him the nickname \"the Dickens of the Ghetto\". Other notable works by this author include: âDreamers of the Ghettoâ (1898), âMerely Mary Annâ (1913), and âGhetto Tragediesâ (1899). This novel will appeal to fans of vintage fiction and is not to be missed by collectors of Zangwill's impressive work. This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with an introductory chapter from âEnglish Humourists of To-Dayâ by J. A. Hammerton. |
