From Plotzk to Boston (Classic Reprint)

Nancy McGee Waters

4.9/5 (14648 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from From Plotzk to Boston The "infant phenomenon" in literature is rarer than in more physical branches of art, but its productions are not likely to be of value outside the doting domestic circle. Even Pope who "lisped in numbers for the numbers came," did not add to our Anthology from his cradle, though he may therein have acquired his monotonous rocking-metre. Immaturity of mind and experience, so easily disguised on the stage or the music-stool - even by adults - is more obvious in the field of pure intellect. The contribution with which Mary Antin makes her debut in letters is, however, saved from the emptiness of embryonic thinking by being a record of a real experience, the greatest of her life; her journey from Poland to Boston. Even so, and remarkable as her description is for a girl of eleven - for it was at this age that she first wrote the thing in Yiddish, though she was thirteen when she translated it into English - it would scarcely be worth publishing merely as a literary curiosity. But it happens to possess an extraneous value. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
