Joseph Leftwich Dies at 90
LONDON (JTA)
Joseph Leftwish, the do-
minant literary figure in
Anglo-Jewry, died last
week at age 90.
Poet, translator, biog-
rapher and journalist, Mr.
Leftwich was a personal
associate of many of the
leading Jewish per-
sonalities of the 20th Cen-
tury, including Israel
Zangwill, of whom he wrote
a biography; Nahum
Sokolow; Zeev Jabotinsky;
Sholem Asch; and Stevan
Zweig.
A man of two cultures, he
also corresponded with
leading English literary
figures, including George
Bernard Shaw.
Mr. Leftwich was born
in Holland, the son of a
Polish cobbler. His fam-
ily emigrated to London
when he was 5. Among
his closest boyhood
friends was Isaac Rosen-
berg, one of the outstand-
ing English poets of
World War I who was kil-
led on the battlefront.
Mr. Leftwich's day school
education ended when he
was 14, but through friends
and private studies he
widened his familiarity
with English and Yiddish
literature.
Before entering jour-
nalism, he worked as a fur-
rier, tailor and baker. His
first published article, on
working class life in
Whitechapel, appeared in
1913. Literary journals
began publishing his
poems, leading to his first
regular newspaper post on
the Yiddish daily, Die Zeit.
In 1920, Leftwich became
the editor of the London
bureau of the Jewish Tele-
graphic - Agency.
Through his transla-
tions, he became known
as "the ambassador of.
Yiddish literature." He
translated into English
dozens of the giants of

out of human life more
ecstasy and paroxysm than
it can well afford.
