It is as a German novelist that he is best known. His Tokeah appeared in German under the See also:title Der Legitime and die Republikaner (1838), and was followed by Der Virey and die Arislokraten (1835).

Sealsfield occupies an important position in the development of the German See also:historical novel at a See also:period when See also:Scott's See also:influence was beginning to wane. He endeavoured to widen the See also:- SCOPE (through Ital. scopo, aim, purpose, intent, from Gr. o'KOaos, mark to shoot at, aim, o ic07reiv, to see, whence the termination in telescope, microscope, &c.)
scope of historical fiction, to describe See also:great See also:national and See also:political movements, without forfeiting the sympathy of his readers for the individual characters of the See also:story.
Sealsfield's Gesammelte Werke appeared in 18 vols. (1843–1846) ; his See also:chief novels are also to be obtained in See also:modern reprints. See Kertbeny, Erinnerungen an Sealsfield (1864); L. Schmolle, Charles
