Review this title

The American View of Europe

by David M. Kennedy

The American view of Europe over the past 500 years has had a powerful shaping effect on both societies. To illustrate this point, Professor Kennedy explores the perspectives of Mark Twain and Henry James, 2 major American thinkers who assessed American society's contrast to that of Europe. While Twain saw his countrymen as innocent, vigorous freedom lovers who were far superior to the effete, corrupt, and repressed Europeans, James took the opposite view, finding his native land sorely lacking. Kennedy concludes by describing a series of woodcuts based on Columbus's account of the Americas, and suggests that elements of the American identity were "assigned" to the New World 5 centuries ago.
