The American ungeliebten evolution of the stereotype
The fourth in July 1889, Rudyard Kipling took place near Mammoth Hot Springs in Yellowstone with a group of tourists from New England. He winced as “clergy stood up and told them they were the greatest, clear, sublimest most chivalrous, and the richest people on the face of the earth, and all have said Amen.” Kipling - had traveled to India, California and then across the North American continent - was dismayed by the exaggerated patriotism which seemed to come to, of course, for citizens of the USA. There were lots of things across America, he loved - fighting twelve books royal salmon in Oregon, USA girls ( “They are clever, they can talk …. They are original and look at you between the eyebrows with intrepid eyesâ €) - And so he did walk and live in Vermont for a moment. But he was angered by the rigorous safeguards that Americans seemed to require their country’s incomparable virtue. If a totally unknown man attacked me and m ‘ asked what I thought about American patriotism, “Kipling wrote in” American Notes “, his account of the voyage:” I said there was nothing, as in the old country “Insert” , Always say, an American. It soothes him.â €The Norwegian writer Knut Hamsun, spent two unhappy periods in the American Midwest in the years ninety-eight - as, inter alia, agricultural workers, save women, workers of railways, teacher and ambulatory (more kongenial) Church Secretary - deals with street parades by veterans with their small flags and hats medals brass in his chest walk the same pace for the hundreds of whistles, they are Penny blow “as if the events were curious remote tribal rituals. The fact that trams have been banned for parades and nobody could itself does not exist without the participation of citizens interested in shame and not both are paid Hamsun. Something seemed threatening to be hatching eggs in America: A child band of monsters, whose physical growth entlaufene would never be a moral or cultural maturity. Hamsun gave lectures about his visits to the USA at the University Copenhagen, then they have a book, “The cultural life of modern America, which was largely on the implementation of its non-existence. Emerson? A trader glib generalizations. Whitman? A lot of hot gush fervour . To Hamsun, America was, above all, wrapped fracas tickets in dollars. “It is incredible to see how Americans are naive cocksure in their faith, they whip each enemy as always,” he wrote. ” there is no end to their patriotism, it is a patriotism that never flinches, and it is just as violent as it loudmouthed. “
