Zusammenfassung
In his book Michael Rodegang Drescher compares the use of myth in specific works of several writers belonging to two different political-geographical regions and periods in the history of those regions: the US Antebellum and the German Vormärz. Antebellum literary works that Drescher examines are Nathaniel Hawthorne’s »The Scarlet Letter« (1850) and William Wells Brown’s »Clotel« (1853); with respect to the Vormärz, he discusses Karl Gutzkow’s »Wally, die Zweiflerin« (1835) and Heinrich Heine’s »Deutschland. Ein Wintermärchen « (1844).
