The Spirit Of America: As Interpreted In The Works Of Charles Sealsfield

By William Paul Dallmann

Book Overview

""The Spirit of America: As Interpreted in the Works of Charles Sealsfield"" by William Paul Dallmann is a literary analysis of the works of Charles Sealsfield, an Austrian-American writer who wrote extensively about the United States in the 19th century. Dallmann examines Sealsfield's portrayal of American society, culture, and politics, as well as his views on issues such as slavery, immigration, and westward expansion. Through a close reading of Sealsfield's texts, Dallmann argues that the author's vision of America was shaped by his own experiences as an immigrant and by the cultural and political context of his time. The book provides a unique perspective on the early history of the United States and sheds light on the complex relationship between American identity and the immigrant experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
