DESCRIPTION:In the second half of the eighteenth century\, Germany was swe
 pt by a wave of Anglophilia that shaped the German Enlightenment and left 
 no aspect of German culture untouched. A crucial figure in this process wa
 s the writer\, Christian Felix Weiße – whose role in the cultural trans
 fer between Britain and Germany\, however\, has been all but forgotten. Th
 is talk reconsiders Weiße as the most prolific German translator of Engli
 sh literature in his lifetime\, a singularly productive intercultural entr
 epreneur\, and influential networker in the Enlightenment ‘Republic of L
 etters.’\n\n\n*No need to book for in-person attendance.* To attend remo
