Hebrew knights in a new land -- The apotheosis of Hebrew -- Benjamin Nahum Silkiner -- Israel Efros -- Ephraim E. Lisitzky -- Abraham Samuel Schwartz -- Hillel Bavli -- Shimon Ginzburg -- H.A. Friedland -- Moshe Feinstein -- Eisig Silberschlag -- Simon Halkin -- Abraham Regelson -- Gabriel Preil -- On Native American grounds -- New England, the nineteenth century -- California gold -- In the tents of Cush -- Urban enclosures.
Mintz's book is a critical introduction to American Hebrew poetry, focussing on a dozen key poets. This secular poetry began with a preoccupation with the situation of the individual in a disenchanted world and then moved outward to engage American vistas and Jewish fate and hope in mid-century. American Hebrew poets hoped to be read in both Palestine and America, but were disappointed on both scores. Several moved to Israel and connected with the vital literary scene there, but most stayed and persisted in the cause of American Hebraism.
