Strana 186 - Johannes Schlaf: Walt Whitman, Vol. 18 of Die Dichtung (1904). Of this work Lessing says (Jour, of Eng. and Ger. Phil., X, p. 91) : "This little book is an unparalleled example of high-handed arrogance, cowardly imposition and utter ignorance."

In 1891 there appeared the most pretentious work of all, Karl Knortz' Geschichte der nordamerikanischen Literatur (2 vols., Berlin, Lustenöder).
Strana 132 - ... recognized by most of their readers as American and not British, will be developed in the course of this study. CHAPTER II. CHRONOLOGICAL SURVEY. (a) Certain Limitations. In making a chronological study of the American novel in Germany after 1870, certain limitations must be borne in mind. It would be useless to make the treatment absolutely exhaustive, for the reason that there are almost countless American authors who appear only in our nickel- and dime-novel form, but are nevertheless translated...
