Excerpt from Robert Reitzel, Vol. 25

Robert Reitzel and his Armer Teufel are practically um known among historians of the german-americans and their literature. It is the purpose of this little volume to direct the at tention of those interested in things german-american to this unique and powerful writer, the greatest among german-amer ican authors, and possibly to suggest further and deeper studies of his life and his. Works. His worth has been recognized by his friends, and they have done a great deal to afford him the honor that is his due. Shortly after his death they published M em Buch (now out of print), a one-volume collection of some of his essays and poems edited by Martin Drescher. In 1913 the Reitzel Klub (dr. Tobias Sigel, Breitmeyer Building, Detroit, Mich.) issued in three soc-page volumes, leather-bound, Des Armen Teufels Gesammelte Schriften, with an introduction by Max Baginski. These volumes, of the greatest importance both in literary as well as in cultural history, ought to be found in every German library in America. Reitzel's friend, George W. Spier (310 Ninth Street, Washington, D. C.) has published Das Reitzel - Album, a collection of portraits and drawings of Reitzel. Since these books together with the files of the Arme Teufel (now exceedingly rare) represent all the literature on this subject, I dispense with appending a bibliography to this dissertation. This monograph is the first on Robert Reitzel, except for a short master's thesis by P. E. Werckshagen under the direction of Prof. O. E. Lessing, of which there is extant but one typewritten copy in the library of the University of Illinois. The first chapter of my dissertation appeared in the german-american Annals in 1915.
