Dear list members,
this is to let you know that a two-day conference on “Eighteenth-Century German Literature and The Italian Renaissance. Poetry, Philosophy, Religion/Deutsche Literatur des 18. Jahrhunderts und italienische Renaissance. Dichtung, Philosophie, Religion“ will take place at Queen's College, Oxford (Shulman Auditorium), on June 16 and 17, 2016.
This conference is aimed at exploring the hitherto rather neglected connections between the Italian Renaissance and eighteenth-century German literature. Topics to be dealt include general issues like translation and philology, as well as the reception of single figures such as Aretino, Machiavelli, Petrarch, and Tasso.
The event is sponsored by the Marie Curie Actions of the EU Seventh Work Programme and the Deutsches Seminar of the University of Tübingen, and is under the auspices of the Hölderlin-Gesellschaft (Tübingen).
The speakers are Gudrun Bamberger (Tübingen), Astrid Dröse (Tübingen), Lucas Eigel (Oxford), Kevin Hilliard (Oxford), Elena Polledri (Udine), Jörg Robert (Tübingen), Ritchie Robertson (Oxford), and Denis Robichaud (Notre Dame).
A detailed programme will be circulated shortly.
Attendance is free, but previous registration is required, please e-mail Laura A. Macor ([log in to unmask]).
Thanks.
Best wishes,
Laura
