Description:
Emma Lazarus is best known for her immortal sonnet to the Statue of Liberty, "The New Colossus". She has also been mythologized as a brilliant but reclusive spinster. Now, author Bette Roth Young has discovered over 100 original letters that shed new light on this legendary figure. In Emma's own words, and the words of her friends, they describe the social life and the personality of a vital young woman who traveled widely here and abroad.
