We hear from some of these incomers; from rural states, Europe, rich and poor, in search of work, status and a better life. For many life was incredibly hard, living in crowded and tenements in appalling conditions, experiences vividly described in the book.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e But New York was and remains a place of incredible energy, of constant movement and excitement. Throughout its history there have been immense challenges, but New York is irrepressible.\u003cbr\u003e All these different perspectives are captured here by the fiction, prose, and poetry of a wonderful range of writers including Walt Whitman, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Henry James, Sarah Teasdale, and many more.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Part of the Macmillan Collector's Library, a series of stunning, pocket-sized classics. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. Edited and introduced by J.
