Klappentext zu „The Literary Legacy of a "Poor Devil" “
Robert Reitzel published Der arme Teufel , a weekly journal in Detroit, Michigan, from December 6, 1884, until his death on March 31, 1898. During his years as editor, Reitzel used Der arme Teufel as a forum for his frequently unorthodox and occasionally radical views. Nonetheless, Reitzel attracted a devoted circle of readers who enjoyed Der arme Teufel not so much for the radical theories of its editor, as for its considerable attention to literature. In addition, Reitzel frequently contributed his own original prose sketches, which charmed many readers and earned Reitzel a reputation as the best prose stylist in German-America. This book broadens the scholarly view of Robert Reitzel by analyzing his literary commentary as well as his original prose and evaluating them specifically in the context of German-American literature.

Pressezitat
"Randall P. Donaldson brings to life the remarkable personality and literary achievements of Robert Reitzel, a German-American journalist, free-thinker, and reformer. Donaldson masterfully weaves together the story of Reitzel, his provocative literary journal, 'Der arme Teufel', and the emergence of a distinct German-American literature and culture." (Michael I. Kurtz, President, Lutheran Historical Society, and Member of the Board, Society for the History of the Germans in Maryland)"The remarkable life and work of Robert Reitzel, who came to the United States in June 1870, has been largely forgotten because his writings were all in German. Randall P. Donaldson searched all available sources in America and Europe to give us a lively picture of Reitzel. Few German-Americans have left such a legacy. At a time when the country turned more and more toward conservative attitudes, Reitzel felt obliged to maintain the liberal, at times even radical, ideas that are found in his weekly newspaper, 'Der arme Teufel', the 'Poor Devil.'"
