The American Image of the Old World is a non-fiction book written by Cushing Strout. The book explores the perceptions and attitudes of Americans towards Europe and its culture during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Strout examines the ways in which American travelers, writers, and artists portrayed Europe in their works, and how these depictions contributed to the formation of a distinct American identity. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of the American image of the Old World. Some of the topics covered include the romanticization of European history and culture, the influence of European art on American artists, and the impact of European politics on American foreign policy. Throughout the book, Strout uses a variety of primary sources, including travel diaries, letters, and literary works, to illustrate the evolution of the American perception of Europe. He also provides historical context and analysis to help readers understand the broader cultural and political trends that shaped these attitudes. Overall, The American Image of the Old World offers a fascinating glimpse into the complex relationship between America and Europe, and how this relationship helped shape American culture and identity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
