Jews, Writing and the Dynamics of Literary Affiliation, 1880-1940 considers the involvement of Jewish writers in America in patron/protege relationships. Asserting a broad sense of what patronage can entail---publishing support, preface writing, translation---this dissertation argues that the patron/protege context becomes a crucial site for the negotiation of Jewish identity and difference, in which writers engaged with the question of the Jew's place in national and cultural life. Drawing on correspondence, memoirs, reviews as well as fiction and poetry, I investigate the varied professional ambitions and political agendas that informed each relationship and the creative ways proteges sought to transform their status.

520 $a The first two chapters explore how patronage was used to guide attitudes toward a growing Russian Jewish immigrant population. Chapter one considers the relationship between William Dean Howells and Abraham Cahan, showing how both writers define the possibility of Jewish belonging in America through the practice of realism in literature. Chapter two examines the figure of the translator as patron through an analysis of Leo Wiener's construction of Morris Rosenfeld as a "Poet of the Ghetto." Focusing on the relationship between Eda Lou Walton and Henry Roth, chapter three addresses the way both writers appropriated the image of the Jew as primitive to specify the Jewish writer's creative contribution to American letters. Chapter four considers how Fannie Hurst and Zora Neale Hurston invoke each other's penchant for self-fashioning to challenge prevailing conceptions of racial identity. Collectively the chapters illuminate the various modes through which Jewish writers were constructed as acceptable presences in the world of American letters and the desires that prompted Jews to define those terms for others. Although focused on "the Jewish question," this inquiry also addresses the relationship between aesthetic practice and cultural production as well as the connection between interpersonal relations and politics.
