Reviews
The essays collected in this well organized volume make a major contribution to our understanding of German Culture in Nineteenth-Century America. ARCHIV FÜR DAS STUDIUM DER NEUEREN SPRACHEN UND LITERATUREN
This anthology provides any number of interesting insights about cultural exchanges and cultural transfers prior to WWI. These exchanges became...an integral part of an American intellectual and popular culture landscape.... In an informative and well informed introduction the editors outline major issues regarding the burgeoning field of cultural transfer studies. The subsequent four parts capture the various aspects in which cultural transfer may be studied most successfully. GERMAN QUARTERLY
In all the contributions original or little-known circumstances and constellations are presented that problematize the presence of German cultural products in the USA as well as the process of German-American identity formation. AMERIKASTUDIEN
