New perspectives from leading scholars on a defining age in American Jewish historyThe thematic essays in Yearning to Breathe Free each use a primary source—a book, newspaper, tract, or artwork—as an entry point into Gilded Age America and as a means to introduce key themes, figures, and developments within the era. Covering topics ranging from art, music, and literature to politics, medicine, and religion, these illuminating essays highlight patterns and trends that demonstrate how the Gilded Age shaped Jewish life in the twentieth century.
