| Abstract | Due to hardships and toil in the new land, many German-Americans wrote poetry in order to praise the lost homeland. The dissertation provides research on German-American writers who wrote prose in contradiction to the common belief that prose is not worthy literature. Condoyannis touches on early political prose by Klauprecht, Hassaurek, Douai, Solger, Winckler, Ludvigh, relatively nontendentious literature by Dilthey, Lexow, Giesler-Anneke, Leonhart, Leyh, Asmus, Sutro-Schucking, Kenkel, humourous sketches, religious writings and prose with light critical content by Otto-Walster, Arlberg, Rosenberg, Minuth, Drescher. |
