Rather than concentrating upon the impoverished immigrant generation of London's East End, Zangwill turns his attention to their descendants and to the increasingly complex question of how Jewish identity might coexist with assimilation into wider British society. Through an interwoven cast of characters, the novel examines religion, class, marriage, social ambition and the competing attractions of tradition and modernity.\n                       \u003c\/span\u003e\n                      \u003c\/font\u003e\n                     \u003c\/font\u003e\n                    \u003c\/div\u003e\n                    \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n                     \u003cfont color=\"#111111\" face=\"Arial\"\u003e\n                      \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 20px;\"\u003e\n                       \u003cbr\u003e\n                      \u003c\/span\u003e\n                     \u003c\/font\u003e\n                    \u003c\/div\u003e\n                    \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n                     \u003cfont color=\"#111111\" face=\"Arial\"\u003e\n                      \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 20px;\"\u003e\n                       At the centre of the story is the conflict between inherited Jewish culture and the freedoms and expectations of late Victorian society. Zangwill approaches these questions through both humour and serious social observation, portraying a community divided between religious orthodoxy, secularisation, cultural assimilation and emerging ideas of Jewish nationalism. Chapters including \"The Flag of Judah,\" \"A Woman's Growth,\" \"Esther Defies the Universe,\" \"Going Home\" and \"Hopes and Dreams\" reflect the novel's broad engagement with identity, belonging and generational change. First published in the 1890s, the work remains a fascinating literary portrait of Jewish experience at a period of considerable social transformation.\n                      \u003c\/span\u003e\n                     \u003c\/font\u003e\n                    \u003c\/div\u003e\n                    \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n                     \u003cfont color=\"#111111\" face=\"Arial\"\u003e\n                      \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 20px;\"\u003e\n                       \u003cbr\u003e\n                      \u003c\/span\u003e\n                     \u003c\/font\u003e\n                    \u003c\/div\u003e\n                    \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n                     \u003cfont color=\"#111111\" face=\"Arial\"\u003e\n                      \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 20px;\"\u003e\n                       This attractive Wayfarer's Library edition, published by J.
