« It is a pleasure to read Lorie A. Vanchena's sprightly and congenial translation of Reinhold Solger's 'Anton in America' (1862), which begins as a good-natured spoof of Gustav Freytag's earnest, somewhat stuffy best seller 'Debit and Credit' (1855) and continues with a tolerantly comic tale about American justice and capitalist anarchy, wearing its prejudices so lightly and cheerfully that they do not offend, and constantly parodying the conventions of popular literature. Professor Vanchena's meticulous commentary supplies the most thorough source of information on Solger we have yet had, and clarifies his many allusions and literary tags. -- Jeffrey L. Sammons
