Ferdinand Lassalle
Zangwill's simulation of Yiddish sentence structure in English aroused great interest. He also wrote mystery works, such as "The Big Bow Mystery" (1892), and social satire such as "The King of Schnorrers" (1894), a picaresque novel (which became a short-lived musical comedy in 1979). His "Dreamers of the Ghetto" (1898) includes essays on famous Jews such as Baruch Spinoza, Heinrich Heine and Ferdinand Lassalle.
