Merely Mary Ann: With a Chapter From English Humorists of To-day by J. A. Hammerton

“Merely Mary Ann” is a 1913 novel by British author Israel Zangwill (1864–1926). Struggling musician of noble heritage Lancelot becomes romantically entwined with his chambermaid Mary Ann in one of the most-adapted books of the early 20th century. 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. Other notable works by this author include: “Dreamers of the Ghetto” (1898) and “Ghetto Tragedies” (1899). Highly recommended for fans and collectors of Zangwill's seminal literature. 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.
