Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Stories and Poems An American gentleman lately addressed a letter to one of our London papers, assuring the English people that his countrymen properly appreciated the difference between Longfellow and Bret Harte. In the same way it might be said that Englishmen similarly recognise the difference between "Paradise Lost" and "Hudibras;" or, to come to our own times, between Macaulay and Dickens; between "Richelieu" and "London Assurance." To say this, is simply platitude. But it is impossible to avoid suspecting that the American writer had been annoyed with some disparaging remarks upon a style of Transatlantic literature now in vogue, of which Mr. Bret Harte is at the present time the Representative Man; and meant us to understand that such authors were properly depreciated. Let us hope this is not true, but that, on the contrary, the immense popularity which Mr. Bret Harte´s prose and poetry have so quickly attained, and the extensive sale they have enjoyed, are a sure testimony that he is as fully valued by his own countrymen as by the British public, among whom his books have been received with such marked favour.
