KAISER, L.M., (ed.),
Early American Latin Verse 1625-1825. An Anthology. Edited with an Introduction and Notes.
Bolchazy-Carducci, Chicago, n.d. (reprint 1st.ed.1984). XXIII,298p. Paperback. Poems in Latin, biographies in English. 'With the publication of this anthology of the Latin verse of the thirteen colonies and the early United States, Leo M. Kaiser makes available for the first time one representative body of American Literature that is far more important, historically and artistically, than its subsequent reputation would indicate. (…) It is to be hoped that the present anthology may come to the attention not only of the literarily interested but also of the historically minded, who could gain from it many a new insight into the early period.' (HAROLD JANTZ in American Literature, 1984, p.591).
