In case people are interested, please find below a list of the books we are going to have out for the talk by Evanghélia Stead on Wednesday; since the Taylorian was part of the original GoogleBooks deal, you can actually study scans of quite a number of these copies, so it might be a useful teaching resource, also for translation studies.

Here again the details of the talk: Wednesday, 25 October, 3-5pm, Taylor Institution Library, Room 2

This is part of my History of the Book seminar this term and will be also a show-and-tell session making use of the vast material on ‘Faust’ brought together by Prof. Hermann Fiedler (186 results for the search query ‘Fiedler*’ for shelfmark and ‘Faust’ for topic on SOLO). Please drop me a line if you would like to attend (but there should be plenty of space). Evanghélia’s book ‘Goethe's Faust I outlined. Moritz Retzsch's prints in circulation’ is open access available via Brill
