Zangwill was a leading figure in cultural Zionism during the 19th century, as well as close friend of father of modern political Zionism, Theodor Herzl. In later life, he renounced the seeking of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. A notable portion of Zangwill's work concentrated on ghetto life and earned him the nickname the Dickens of the Ghetto. Other notable works by this author include: Dreamers of the Ghetto (1898), Grandchildren of the Ghetto (1892 ), and Children of the Ghetto: A Study of a Peculiar People (1892). This classic work is being republished now in a new edition complete with an introductory chapter from English Humourists of To-Day by J. A. Hammerton.Israel Zangwill was a British humorist and writer who lived from January 21, 1864 until August 1, 1926. Zangwill was born in London on January 21, 1864, to Moses Zangwill from Latvia and Ellen Hannah Marks Zangwill from Poland, into a family of Jewish immigrants from Czarist Russia. He devoted his life to fighting for the rights of the disadvantaged. His writing found rich ground in Jewish emancipation, women's suffrage, assimilationism, territorialism, and Zionism. His brother, author Louis Zangwill, was also a writer, and his son, Oliver Zangwill, was a well-known British psychologist.
Zangwill was educated in Plymouth and Bristol throughout his early years. Zangwill was enrolled in the Jews' Free School in Spitalfields, east London, when he was nine years old, a school for Jewish immigrant children. The school provided a demanding course of secular and religious education, as well as clothes, food, and health care for the students; now, one of the school's four houses is named for him. Israel excelled at this institution and even taught part-time before becoming a full-fledged teacher.
He studied for his degree at the University of London, getting a BA with triple honours in 1884 while teaching. Edith Ayrton, a gentile feminist and author, was the daughter of cousins Matilda Chaplin and William Edward Ayrton, and Zangwill married her. Later in life, he made connections with well-known Victorian authors like Jerome K. Jerome. H. and Jerome
