Der arme Teufel ("The Poor Devil") is the name of the weekly journal published in Detroit, Michigan by Reitzel from December 1884 to his death in 1898. Donaldson (German language and literature, Loyola College, Baltimore) traces Reitzel's career, his liberal political views, aesthetics stressing the beauty of nature in everyday life, and reputation as the best prose stylist in 19th-century German-America. The author compensates for previous studies that failed to provide context on that community. About half the book consists of appended Reitzel compositions in untranslated German and sample facsimile issues of the journal. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
