Translations of German Poetry in American Magazines 1741–1810 is a scholarly monograph by Edward Ziegler Davis examining the earliest phase of German literary influence in the United States, tracing how German poems appeared in American periodicals during the colonial and early republican periods — long before German literature became a fashionable subject for American intellectuals.
The study illuminates a neglected corner of transatlantic literary history and reveals the surprising reach of German literary culture in early America. Download this free public-domain EPUB for a specialized but genuinely illuminating work of literary-historical scholarship.
