First Reprinting 1969: Johnson Reprint Corporation. "Only gradually did Germany become aware that a significant literature was developing in America, a quarter from which little or nothing was expected. The German awakening to the merit of this new overseas literature is revealed in the reviews of the period from 1818 to the beginning of the Civil War. The present survey is based primarily on two outstanding peridicals, the Blatter fur literarische Unterhaltung, and, for obvious reasons, the Magazin fur die Literatur des Auslands, with occasional reference to other journals." from Chapter I.
