Book Description
Excerpt from The American Jewish Year Book 5664: September 22, 1903, to September 9, 1904 The new feature in the american jewish year B001: for 5664 is the series of Biographical Sketches of Rabbis and Can tors in the United States, which was compiled because of the interest necessarily attaching to the education and literary activity of the spiritual guides of American Jewry. The 363 sketches here presented form the first installment of an American Jewish Who's Who. They do not lay claim to com pleteness either in respect to contents or in respect to num bers. Limitations of space forbade all but an outline. As to numbers, it cannot be assumed that the 694 persons addressed exhaust the number of Rabbis and Cantors at present offi ciating in the United States. Moreover, of this presumably incomplete number nearly 36 per cent were not heard from. The remaining 64 per cent include 341 who supplied the in formation used in compiling their sketches; four, information about whom was furnished by relatives and friends; four who declined to furnish any data about themselves, and whose names were omitted; eighteen who are officiating as volunteer Rabbis or Cantors; eight who are no longer connected with congregations; one who reported that he had moved to Canada; two who were reported by their former congregations as having removed; one who was reported deceased by a friend; and sixty-eight whose circulars were returned by the post office asinsufficicntly or incorrectly addressed.

Book Description
This is a pioneering, comprehensive bibliography of existing publications relating to American Jews with ancestry in the former Czechoslovakia and its successor states, the Czech and the Slovak Republics, which has never before been attempted. Since only a few studies have been written on the subject, the present work has been extended to include biobibliography, in which area a plethora of papers and monographs exist. Consequently, this compendium can also be viewed as a comprehensive listing of biographical sources relating to American Jews with the Czechoslovak roots. As the reader will find out, they have been involved, practically, in every field of human endeavor, in numbers that surprise. As for the definition of Jews, the present work encompasses not only the individuals that have professed in Judaism but also the descendants of the former Jews who originally lived on the territory of the former Czechoslovakia, regardless of the generation or where they were born.

Book Description
The highly publicized obscenity trial of Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness (1928) is generally recognized as the crystallizing moment in the construction of a visible modern English lesbian culture, marking a great divide between innocence and deviance, private and public, New Woman and Modern Lesbian. Yet despite unreserved agreement on the importance of this cultural moment, previous studies often reductively distort our reading of the formation of early twentieth-century lesbian identity, either by neglecting to examine in detail the developments leading up to the ban or by framing events in too broad a context against other cultural phenomena. Fashioning Sapphism locates the novelist Radclyffe Hall and other prominent lesbians -- including the pioneer in women's policing, Mary Allen, the artist Gluck, and the writer Bryher -- within English modernity through the multiple sites of law, sexology, fashion, and literary and visual representation, thus tracing the emergence of a modern English lesbian subculture in the first two decades of the twentieth century. Drawing on extensive new archival research, the book interrogates anew a range of myths long accepted without question (and still in circulation) concerning, to cite only a few, the extent of homophobia in the 1920s, the strategic deployment of sexology against sexual minorities, and the rigidity of certain cultural codes to denote lesbianism in public culture.
