ABSTRACT
From The Younger Russian Writers in ‘Forum’, September 1899, xxviii, 119-28. Cahan followed this up with an article on The Mantle of Tolstoy in ‘Bookman’, 1902, xvi, 328-33. The essays are valuable because they show that Russian literary critics were not dissimilar in their reactions to their Anglo-Saxon counterparts. Abraham Cahan (1860-1951) was in fact Russian born - a journalist who went to the United States in 1882, and wrote in both English and Yiddish.
