This volume attempts for the first time a comprehensive view of the
momentous process of German-American cultural transfer during the
18th and 19th centuries, which played an important part in the
formation of an American national and cultural identity, a process
to which the New England Transcendentalists contributed some of the
decisive ingredients, but which has largely escaped the attention
of German and American scholarship. In each chapter a specific
problem is treated systematically from a clearly defined
perspective, deficiencies of existing translation theories are
exposed, so that in the concluding chapters 13 and 14 (with an
unpublished memorandum by Alexander von Humboldt) a cohesive view
of the entire process emerges. A comprehensive bibliography will
facilitate further scholarly pursuits.
