In Hans Christian Andersen in American Literary Criticism of the
Nineteenth Century, Herbert Rowland argues that the literary
criticism accompanying the publication of Hans Christian Andersen's
works in the United States compares favorably in scope,
perceptiveness, and chronological coverage with the few other
national receptions of Andersen outside of Denmark. Rowland
contends that American commentators made it abundantly evident
that, in addition to his fairy tales, Andersen wrote several
novels, travelogues, and an autobiography which were all of more
than common interest. In the process, Rowland shows that American
commentators "naturalized" Andersen in the United States by
confronting the sensationalism in the journalism and literature of
the time with the perceived wholesomeness of Andersen's writing,
deploying his long fiction on both sides of the debate over the
nature and relative value of the romance and the novel, and drawing
on two of his works to support their positions on slavery, the
Civil War, and Reconstruction.
