Joseph Leftwich (1892–1983), born Joseph Lefkowitz, was a British-Jewish critic and translator into English of Yiddish literature. He is known particularly for his 1939 anthology ''The Golden Peacock'' of Yiddish poetry, and his 1957 biography of Israel Zangwill. He was one of the 'Whitechapel Boys' group (the others being John Rodker, Isaac Rosenberg and Stephen Winsten) of aspiring young Jewish writers in London's East End, in the period roughly 1910–1914. He himself retrospectively coined the name, to include also the artists David Bomberg and Mark Gertler. His daughter Joan〔see the dedication page in ''The Golden Peacock''〕 married the American writer Joseph McElroy.〔from the McElroy biography in Vineta Colby (ed) ''World Authors 1975-1980''〕 ==Works== *War (1915) *What will happen to the Jews?
