Inhalt:

"The Breitmann Ballads" by Charles Godfrey Leland is a delightful collection of humorous and spirited poems that emerged in the mid-19th century. Leland, an American humorist and folklorist, created the character Hans Breitmann, a larger-than-life German-American soldier, to narrate these ballads. This collection, published in the late 1800s, reflects Leland's fascination with German culture and his talent for blending satire with folk traditions. In the Breitmann Ballads, readers encounter lively and comic tales that often poke fun at the complexities of life, love, and war. Through the exaggerated and jovial character of Hans Breitmann, Leland offers a humorous exploration of the immigrant experience and the blending of cultural identities in America. The ballads are notable for their use of dialect and playful language, capturing the boisterous spirit of the character Hans Breitmann. Leland's work showcases a fusion of literary and folk traditions, providing readers with an entertaining and insightful window into the social landscape of the time. "The Breitmann Ballads" remains a testament to Leland's skill in weaving together humor, folklore, and cultural commentary. Immerse yourself in this collection for a lighthearted and whimsical journey through the misadventures of Hans Breitmann and the rich tapestry of 19th-century American humor.
