Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The first novel written and published in English by an American Jewish womanPublished serially in the spiritualist journal Banner of Light in 1860, Cosella Wayne: Or, Will and Destiny is the first comingofage novel, written and published in English by an American Jewish woman, to depict Jews in the United States and transforms what we know about the history of early American Jewish literature. The novel never appeared in book form, went unmentioned in Jewish newspapers of the day, and studies of nineteenthcentury American Jewish literature ignore it completely. Yet the novel anticipates many central themes of American Jewish writing: intermarriage, generational tension, family dysfunction, JewishChristian relations, immigration, poverty, the place of women in Jewish life, the nature of romantic love, and the tension between destiny and free will.The narrative recounts a relationship between an abusive Jewish father and the rebellious daughter he molested as well as that daughters struggle to find a place in the complex social fabric of nineteenthcentury America. It is also unique in portraying such themes as an unmarried Jewish womans descent into poverty, her forlorn years as a starving orphaned seamstress, her apostasy and return to Judaism, and her quest to be both Jewish and a spiritualist at one and the same time.Jonathan Sarna, who introduces the volume, discovered Cosella Wayne while pursuing research at the Israel Institute for Advanced Studies in Jerusalem. This edition is supplemented with selections from Cora Wilburns recently rediscovered diary, which are reprinted in the appendix. Together, these materials help to situate Cosella Wayne within the life and times of one of nineteenthcentury American Jewrys least known and yet most prolific female authors.
