In the 1930s, Paul Ben Baginsky, a member of the German Department faculty of Brooklyn College, was working on a book then called "The Development of the Notion of America in Germany" when it was stopped by the lack of bibliographic data to work from. It became clear that no more progress could be made without more adequate bibliographical foundations, and that's exactly what Baginsky set out to do. Based on, but not limited to, the extensive holdings of the New York Public Library, this book aims at being a comprehensive bibliography of the German publications dealing with any aspect of America which were published before 1800. This includes not only books, but articles, essays, and book reviews. Each entry is arranged chronologically according to the publication date. These listings are made highly accessible by the addition of extensive and detailed subject, author, and title indexes. A new introduction and a selective bibliography have been added by Dr. Don H. Tolzmann, one of the foremost German-American scholars today. Anyone seeking information on Germans in American history before 1800 should examine this work, not only for topics pertaining to German immigration and settlement, but any possible historical topic, including esoteric subjects, such as forestry, science and medicine. This book is an essential reference for colonial German-American history.
Since its original publication in 1975, this book has become a standard reference to material published on German-American history. This selective bibliography lists over 5,300 sources (books, pamphlets, government publications, newspapers, periodical art
More than 25,000 German-language titles have been published in the United States from the colonial period to the twentieth century. This book gives a fresh look at this rich historical tradition, with essays discussing all genres of this colorful literature, ranging from immigrant letters to experimental German-language poetry by Jewish women, from German-American novelists and playwrights to Austrian refugee publishers and a psychological theorist of the movies. German? American? Literature? reintroduces the modern reader to a fascinating subject that has gained new relevance in an age of increased global migrations.

Although German Americans number almost 43 million and are the largest ethnic group in the United States, scholars of American literature have paid little attention to this influential and ethnically diverse cultural group. In a work of unparalleled depth and range, Waldemar Zacharasiewicz explores the cultural and historical background of the varied images of Germany and Germans throughout the past two centuries. Using an interdisciplinary approach known as comparative imagology, which borrows from social psychology and cultural anthropology, Zacharasiewicz samples a broad spectrum of original sources, including literary works, letters, diaries, autobiographical accounts, travelogues, newspaper reports, films, and even cartoons and political caricatures. Starting with the notion of Germany as the ideal site for academic study and travel in the nineteenth century and concluding with the twentieth-century image of Germany as an aggressive country, this innovative work examines the ever-changing image of Germans and Germany in the writings of Louisa May Alcott, Samuel Clemens, Henry James, William James, George Santayana, W. E. B. Du Bois, John Dewey, H. L. Mencken, Katherine Anne Porter, Kay Boyle, Thomas Wolfe, Upton Sinclair, Gertrude Stein, Kurt Vonnegut, Thomas Pynchon, William Styron, Walker Percy, and John Hawkes, among others.
