Publisher Synopsis
In this volume, illuminating essays by both preeminent authorities and up-and-coming scholars persuasively challenge prevailing concepts of cultural exchange, its conditions, and results, applying a broad spectrum of methods from German and British literary studies, comparative and translation studies, biography, and computational text analysis. -- Waltraud Maierhofer, professor of German, University of Iowa This is an important volume not just for research into 18th- and early 19th- century Anglo-German cultural relations, but equally for research on cultural transfer. By discussing the less researched areas of poetry and drama as sites of transfer and cultural stimulation, the collection brings to the fore the fluctuating directions of interest and transfers between the two contexts. In this respect the volume is a case study that provides general insights into the multifaceted and multilateral transformations, permutations, and recycling that takes place in cultural transfer and cultural exchange. -- Maike Oergel, Associate Professor of German, Department of Modern Languages and Cultures, University of Nottingham This is one of the most erudite and exciting books on Anglo-German Cultural Relations I have read. The breadth and depth of the scholarship are astonishing, with the result that on almost every page gaps in our knowledge are filled, misconceptions corrected and new avenues of scholarship opened up. -- Robert M. Gillett, Reader in German and Comparative Cultural Studies, Queen Mary University of London Read more...
