Between 1888 and 1933, the United States of America functioned in
the German-speaking world as a dream or a nightmare, as an
embodiment of modernity and capitalism that was admired, despised
or even feared. 14 essays explore the relationship of selected
German-speaking poets, writers and publicists, scientists and
architects of that time to the USA. Temperaments as diverse as
Alfred Kubin and Stefan George, Ernst Jiinger and Erich Maria
Remarque, Adolf Loos and Friedrich August von Hayek are discussed.
Well-known authors such as Stefan Zweig and Joseph Roth make
appearances, but also lesser-known authors such as Bertha
Eckstein-Diener, Marta Karlweis and Maria Leitner, Hugo Bettauer,
Bernhard Kellermann and Arthur Rundt. "The volume draws a
wide-ranging, methodologically diverse and extremely readable
panorama of the debate on the USA in the literature and journalism
of the German-speaking countries before and after the First World
War." Prof. Wynfrid Kriegleder (Vienna)
