Dear All,
This is to let you know that Professor Michael Perraudin has retired
from the University of Sheffield.
Michael came to Sheffield in 2000 to take up the Chair of German
(previously held by Moray McGowan and Hamish Ritchie, among others) and
from that year until 2007 was Head of the Department of Germanic Studies.
He developed a highly successful MA in Germanic Studies and for many
years was one of the Directors of the Centre for Nineteenth-Century
Studies at our University.
Michael contributed in a major way to the field of German Studies
through his strong academic leadership, inspiring teaching and
supervision, and his many genuinely innovative, yet always precise and
securely text-based, publications on the German nineteenth century.
I am pleased to say that Michael will continue to be active in German
Studies as Professor Emeritus, working on a monograph on early Heine as
well as publications on a range of other late-Romantic, Vormaerz /
Biedermeier, and early-Realist writers.
