She has also been mythologized as a brilliant but reclusive spinster. Now, author Bette Roth Young has discovered over 60 original letters in the attic of the home of Lazarus' close friends Helena deKay and Richard Watson Gilder. These letters shed new light on this legendary figure; they describe, in Emma's own words and the words of her friends, the social life and the personality of a vital young woman who traveled widely here and abroad, socializing wherever she went, and meeting life with passion and an unfailing sense of humor. Emma Lazarus was, in fact, a lively presence in a New York City coming of age. Her friends ranged from Ralph Waldo Emerson and Nathaniel Hawthorne's daughter Rose Lathrop to such luminaries across the sea as Ivan Turgenev, Robert Browning, William Morris, and Henry James. Emma Lazarus in Her World: Life and Letters brings together the best and the brightest men and women, artist and thinkers, at century's end. The Lazarus letters are delightfully candid and instructive, but this book is more than a collection of letters. It debunks myths about Emma's reclusiveness and shows that she was never a "radical," nor was she ever comfortably Jewish. She was more at home in the cultured milieu of New York, Newport, Paris, and London than in the Jewish world she so ardently embraced in the last years of her life, when she is said to have had a "conversion" experience. Upon meeting East European Jewish refugees at Ward's Island, she became their spokeswoman in poetry and prose. Nevertheless, her world remained as it had been, one framed in gentility and the arts.…
