It seemed deserving of the effort, therefore, to inquire into the spirit in which our romancer, known under the pseudonym Charles Sealsfield, had conceived this epic and to make a special study of how the racial constituents of the growing American nationality, as well as the questions connected with their amalgamation into a body politic, unfolded themselves before his keen and observing eye. To what extent the character of the American democracy and civilization of the present time still agrees with the democratic ideal that Sealsfield beheld and glorified in his novels the reader of this monograph will determine for himself. A study such as is here presented, moreover, appears to be timely especially now in consideration of the revived interest in Sealsfield indicated by the recent translation into English of one of his early political pamphlets, as well as by the publication in Germany of new editions of several of his romances. This revival of interest in Sealsfield, the prophet of German democracy, is doubtless due to the recent political upheaval in Germany as much as was the decline of his contemporary popularity after the failure of the revolution of 1848. The writer's interest in Charles Sealsfield was first awakened by Professor Otto Heller of Washington University who at that time was planning a critical edition of the works of the famous German-American novelist.

- s***s (17)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller was fine, arrived promptly with good packaging and in perfect condition. But I should have asked questions about the book. It is really just a recreation of a collection of pages from old catalogues. I was hoping for more information & history of some of the Chickering models. This was not worth $18 to me. Would have been helpful if the seller had given examples of some pages.
