22. Lazarus, Emma Lazarus, Emma. (18491887), poet and essayist Born in New York, New York, on July 22, 1849, Emma Lazarus early displayed a talent http://www.britannica.com/women/articles/Lazarus_Emma.html

Lazarus, Emma (1849-1887), poet and essayist Born in New York, New York, on July 22, 1849, Emma Lazarus early displayed a talent for poetry, and her first book, Poems and Translations (1867), was praised by Ralph Waldo Emerson. She dedicated her next book, Admetus and Other Poems (1871), to him. These and subsequent volumesthe prose Alide: An Episode of Goethe's Life (1874), a verse tragedy, The Spagnoletto (1876), and a fine translation of the Poems and Ballads of Heinrich Heine (1881)were cosmopolitan in flavor, sometimes technically excellent, but lacking in real distinction. About 1881, with the wave of immigration to the United States from European and Russian ghettoes, Lazarus, herself of Sephardic Jewish stock, took up the defense of persecuted Jews and of Judaism and began to work for the relief of immigrants. She published numerous essays in the Century and the weekly American Hebrew on the pogroms and persecutions and the often equivocal attitude of the Christian West. She was an early advocate of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. In 1882 she produced Songs of a Semite

Is this the House of Israel, whose pride Is as a tale that's told, an ancient song? Are these ignoble relics all that live Of psalmist, priest, and prophet? Can the breath Of very heaven bid these bones revive, Open the graves and clothe the ribs of death? Yea, Prophesy, the Lord hath said. Again Say to the wind, Come forth and breathe afresh, Even that they may live upon these slain, And bone to bone shall leap, and flesh to flesh. The Spirit is not dead, proclaim the word, Where lay dead bones, a host of armed men stand! I ope your graves, my people, saith the Lord, And I shall place you living in your land.

My influences included Josephine Lazarus and the medieval scholars and poets of her ancestors' land. One of the first successful Jewish American authors, Lazarus was part of the late nineteenth century New York literary elite, and was celebrated in her day as an important American poet. In her later years, she wrote bold, powerful poetry and essays protesting the rise of anti-Semitism and arguing for Russian immigrants' rights. She called on Jews to unite and create a homeland in Palestine before the title Zionist had even been coined. As a Jewish American woman, Emma Lazarus faced the challenge of belonging to two often conflicting worlds. As a woman she dealt with unequal treatment in both. Lazarus used these difficult experiences to lend power and depth to her work. At the same time, her complicated identity has obscured her place in American culture.

EMMA LAZARUS The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine The Century Co. New York Vol. 36 (14 New Series), Number 6, October 1888 EMMA LAZARUS EMMA LAZARUS BORN JULY 22, 1849 DIED NOVEMBER 19, 1887 NE hesitates to lift the veil and throw the light upon a life so hidden and a personality so withdrawn as that of Emma Lazarus; but while her memory is fresh, and the echo of her songs still lingers in these pages, we feel it a duty to call up her presence once more and to note the traits that made it remarkable and worthy to shine out clearly before the world. Of dramatic episode or climax in her life there is none; outwardly all was placid and serene, like an untroubled stream whose depths alone hold the strong, quick tide. One cannot fail to be rather painfully impressed by the profound melancholy pervading the book. The opening poem is " In Memoriam " - on the death of a school friend and companion; and the two following poems also have death for theme." On a Lock of my Mother's Hair " gives us reflections on growing old. These are the four poems written at the age of fourteen. There is not a wholly glad and joyous strain in the volume, and we might smile at the recurrence of broken vows, broken hearts, and broken lives in the experience of this maiden just entered upon her teens, were it not that the innocent child herself is in such deadly earnest. The two long narrative poems, " Bertha " and " Elfrida," are also tragic in the extreme. Both are dashed off apparently at white heat - "Elfrida", over 1500 lines of blank verse, in two weeks; "Bertha", in three and a half.
