Abstract:
Both inter-literary and translational transfer contributed to the making of a distinctive English-language literature in British America and the early United States. Writers residing in America either kept the Britain-based Atlantic reading culture homogeneous by catering to the British reading tastes of many immigrants or, by means of “deviating responses” to eminent British works, helped to bring about an “Americanizing” dissociation. – We need a conceptual frame of reference for this kind of historical study. Americans who studied at German universities, German immigrants, and American literati working from their own country gave nineteenth-century American literary culture a recognizably German dimension.
