VTG ARROGANT BEGGAR 1ST ED 1927 ANZIA YESIERSKA DOUBLEDAY PAGE & CO GOOD COND The target of intense critical comment when it was first published in 1927, Arrogant Beggar’ s scathing attack on charity-run boardinghouses remains one of Anzia Yezierska’s most devastating works of social criticism. The novel follows the fortunes of its young Jewish narrator, Adele Lindner, as she leaves the impoverished conditions of New York’s Lower East Side and tries to rise in the world. Portraying Adele’s experiences at the Hellman Home for Working Girls, the first half of the novel exposes the “sickening farce” of institutionalized charity while portraying the class tensions that divided affluent German American Jews from more recently arrived Russian American Jews.
