Gorky explores emigration in new world drama
Maxime Gorky, living on Capri, writes a drama about immigrant life in New York. A village woman flees an abusive marriage with a hundred rubles, joining other arrivals and facing American gatekeeping, while a Jewish servant woman seeks a better life and three railings guard the “freedom” of the New World. The play follows assimilation from harsh Old World poverty to American opportunity and ends with a mother teaching her children in Central Park. Gorky’s view on art versus agitator roles, his Confession, and a shift toward collectivism are also discussed, alongside praise for Russian literature and figures like Dostoyevsky and Andreyev.
