In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

s n l jp Acknowledgments I would like to thank Stephen Brennan, Richard Lehan, Joseph R. McElrath, Keith Newlin, Thomas P. Riggio, and Fannie Yoker for their comments and aid in connection with various parts of this book in the course of its preparation. Also, a special kind of thanks to the late John Higham for his groundbreaking studies of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century American anti-Semitism, Strangers in the Land and Send These to Me—special because Higham, as a young UCLA assistant professor of history, was on my doctoral examination committee these many years ago, and I recall his firm guidance and penetrating mind with pleasure. I would also like to thank the Doheny Library, University of Southern California, and the Annenberg Rare Book and Manuscript Library, University of Pennsylvania, for permission to publish manuscript material from their Garland and Dreiser collections. Finally, thanks to Dreiser Studies for permission to publish (in revised form) “Dreiser and the Jews,” which appeared in its Summer 2004 issue. i-xviii_1-90_Pize.indd 7 4/10/08 11:37:48 AM [blank page viii] s n l jp i-xviii_1-90_Pize.indd 8 4/10/08 11:37:48 AM ...
