Hortense and Tobias Lewin Distinguished Professor in the Humanities
Expertise: 17th & 19th century German literature and culture, literary translation Bio: She has published widely on German literature and culture from 1650 to the 1990s with a concentration in the late seventeenth century and the nineteenth century. She has maintained an abiding interest in the novel and its origins, the construction and representation of gender, reading communities and reading habits, nineteenth-century regionalism and nationalism, the intersection between fiction and other social and cultural discourses. Her most recent publications include articles on the construction of gender in Grimmelshausen's pseudo-autobiographical novels, Gustav Freytag's alternative address to national community, concepts of work and profession in early modern novels by musicians, disease and community in Raabe's Unruhige Gäste, and a co-authored investigation of displacement in Kleist's "Bettelweib von Locarno."
