Tribute to American Literature by Hartmann
Professor Hartmann, a German authority on modern literature, said in a recent lecture that no country has literature in as healthy a condition as the United States. He praised the American novel at its best as superior to English and French works, but argued Americans are not yet ripe for great poetry and must endure tribulation before developing a strong poetic school.
