This series subjects the large topic of German-America to new critical scrutiny. Its topics range from modern languages to political history, from American Studies to anthropology, who present independently conceived publications as part of the larger project. The studies in this series offer not only new approaches to German-American studies, but they also force new thinking about what constitutes «German literature» and what have been the defining, multilingual features of «American literature.»
Anton in America: A Novel from German-American Life has been described as the best German-language book published in the United States. Written by Reinhold Solger, a gifted German revolutionary intellectual who emigrated to America, this witty novel sheds light on topics of perennial importance: a hero’s development through encounters with different social worlds, immigrant identity formation in a new land, and the country and the city. Solger took German ideas and values and adapted them to an American context, thus producing a literary work that could comment upon German, American, and German-American life, making Anton in America an important source for understanding the rich linguistic and cultural history of the United States. This lively translation makes a great book available to English-speaking readers for the first time.
