"Translations of German Poetry in American Magazines 1741-1810" by Edward Ziegler Davis is a study that shows the impact of German poetry on American writing through early American magazines from 1741 to 1810. It shows how translations of German poems and other Germanic literature in American magazines helped Americans understand and enjoy German culture. The study looks at how American magazines were important ways to share German poems with readers who spoke English, often before these poems were available in books. It names important poets and translators who helped with this and explains why magazines were important in forming literary opinions during this important time in American culture, setting up a timeline of translations and their importance to the American writing scene.
