Goethe Workshop
Hermann meets Dorothea in the refugee trek. Copper engraving by Daniel Chodowiecki
Graduate Student Workshop on Goethe’s Hermann und Dorothea with Inka Mülder-Bach (Munich/Princeton), Dorothea von Mücke (Columbia ) and David E. Wellbery (Chicago).
In four seminars over two days devoted to one of Goethe’s most historically influential and currently topical texts, this gathering will focus on the ambiguous generic status of Hermann und Dorothea as epic/idyll/pastoral; its representation of a political refugee community; and its gender-thematic concern with defloration and marriage.
