| Abstract | Haberland's article divides the span of reception into different phases. The first (prior to the 1820's) is marked by few translations of German works into English and a markedly critical reception of German authors in Baltimore literary periodicals. (Haberland lists the reviewed journals as well as the mentioned authors in the appendices at the end of the article.) The second phase, the 1830's, is characterized by a drastic warming to German literature. In the third phase, 1840-1860, references to German literature drop to two. The author hypothesizes that this was due most likely to the raging debates re slavery. In the fourth phase, begining with the end of the Civil War and continuing on into the 1870's, things pick up again. |
