Zheng, Zhenduo. Wen xue da gang [ID D11275].
Erwähnung von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Friedrich Hölderlin, Henrik Ibsen, Walt Whitman, Jane Austen, Edgar Allan Poe, Mark Twain, James Fenimore Cooper, Washington Irving, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Darin enthalten ist eine Abhandlung über Faust von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
Zheng alluded to William Dean Howells' famous appellation for Mark Twain as 'the Lincoln of American literature'. He asserts that Huckleberry Finn is Twain's most important representative work.
He described Georg Brandes as 'the most important critic of Europe'.
Zheng mentioned Jane Austen, but said very briefly that her works have calm irony, delicate characterization, and pleasing style.
Washington Irving made American literature first recognized in Europe, while it is Edgar Allan Poe who first made American literature greatly influence European literature. In 1909, the year of Poe's centennial, the whole of Europe, from London to Moscow, and from Christiania to Rome, claimed its indebtedness to Poe and praised his great success.
Zheng Zhenduo regarded Nathaniel Hawthorne as "the first person who wrote tragedy in America". It was Hawthorne's emphasis upon psychological description that led to Zheng's high praise. According to Zheng's theory, the American tradition in literature exerted a strong influence upon Hawthorne's exploration of the depth of the human soul. "Hawthorne's psychological description could be traced back to Charles Brown."
