Opis

This set of essays is a sequel to Anglo-German Studies published in 1992 by the Leeds Philosophical and Literary Society. Both sets of essays are closely connected with the work of the Leeds University MA programme in Anglo-German Cultural Relations and many of the contributors are, or have been, on the teaching staff of the Leeds University Department of German.
The nine essays of the 1992 volume explored aspects of the German reception of English literary ideas, whereas the emphasis in the present volume is on the English reception of German literature.
