About this Series

Series Editor: A. Gregg Roeber

This series provides an outlet for books that reflect the mission of the Penn State Max Kade Institute: to integrate the history and culture of German-speakers in the Americas with the major themes of early modern scholarship from the sixteenth century to the early nineteenth century.

The Max Kade German-American Research Institute located on Penn State’s campus (http://www.maxkade.psu.edu/) was founded in 1993 thanks to  a grant from the Max Kade Foundation, New York. The directors of the Penn State University Max Kade German American Research Institute are Daniel Purdy and A. Gregg Roeber.
