Beyond the Golden Door is the first book devoted to showing how Jewish playwrights of the twentieth century have dramatized the Jewish encounter with America. Questions dealt within this study include - How do you balance old world heritage with new world opportunity? What does it mean to be a Jew - or to be an American, for that matter?

JULIUS NOVICK is Emeritus Professor of Drama Studies at Purchase College, USA, and has also taught at Columbia, Harvard, and Julliard.
