Overview

English summary: British Travels to Germany: The volume collects historical and literary scholarship on British travels to Germany, mainly since the nineteenth century. It examines representations of Germany in the Victorian popular press and in the contemporary TV travel documentary, as well as reflections by British writers on their experiences of Germany and the Germans. In-depth case studies throw light on the replication, reception, and revision of stereotypes in literature and the media. German description: Der Band prasentiert ausgewahlte literatur- und geschichtswissenschaftliche Beitrage der 39. Jahrestagung der Prinz-Albert-Gesellschaft aus dem Jahr 2022. Ihr Thema waren britische Deutschlandreisen vornehmlich seit dem 19. Jahrhundert, insbesondere in ihrer literarischen und medialen Reprasentation fur ein britisches Publikum. Beleuchtet werden publizistische Darstellungen Deutschlands in der viktorianischen Presse - vom Staatsbesuch Konigin Viktorias bis zu Reiseempfehlungen fur den kleinen Geldbeutel - und in zeitgenossischen TV-Dokumentationen ebenso wie Reflexionen britischer Intellektueller wie Henry Crabb Robinson, Thomas Carlyle, Christopher Isherwood und Nancy Mitford uber Erlebnisse in Deutschland und mit den Deutschen. Die Fallstudien zeigen auf, wie britische Vorstellungen uber die deutschen Nachbarn repliziert, revidiert und rezipiert wurden und bieten facettenreiche Einblicke in individuelle Transformationen des Verhaltnisses zwischen Grossbritannien und Deutschland.

About the Author

"Franziska A. Bartl studied History and German Studies at Bamberg and received her doctorate at the Institute for European Studies and History at Technische Universitat Chemnitz with a thesis on a protagonist of the attempted coup against the Nazi regime of 20 July, 1944. Since 2023, she has been a research assistant in a project on the Chemnitz student body in the GDR era at TU Chemnitz, and Executive Chair of the Prinz Albert Gesellschaft since 2015. Her research focuses on 19th- and 20th- century history, in particular on National Socialism and the GDR, the history of German-British relations, and European dynastic history with a focus on the House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Florian Klaeger is professor of English at the University of Bayreuth. He is the author of a monograph on representations of Anglo-Irish history in Elizabethan England, Forgone Nations (2006), as well as of Reading into the Stars (2018), a study of the cosmopoetics of the contemporary novel. He holds a Ph D from the University of Duesseldorf and a Habilitation from the University of Muenster. His research focuses on the functions of literary form for the creation of collective identities, and the entanglements between literature and early modern science. Prof. Dr. Frank-Lothar Kroll has held the professorship of 19th- and 20th-century European history at Technische University Chemnitz since 2000. He is chairman of the scientific advisory board of Bundesstiftung Flucht, Vertreibung, Versohnung and has served on numerous other advisory boards for many years, including those of Institut fur Zeitgeschichte in Munich, Deutsches Historisches Institut in Warsaw, and the Forschungsgemeinschaft 20.
