Our April talk:

Elystan Griffiths, Senior Lecturer in German Studies at the University of Birmingham comes to us for the second time again on a literary theme. Elystan is primarily interested in the field of German literature, 1750–1815 but he also teaches widely across the curriculum in German Studies, including language, literature and cinema. His research interests include social and political writing of the 18th and 19th centuries, women’s writing and the pastoral.

Originally from Cardiff, and a native speaker of Welsh, he studied Modern Languages (German and French) at Robinson College, Cambridge and completed his doctorate in German Studies at the University of Birmingham. He has been a staff member at the University of Birmingham since 2000.

This time we hear about the 18th century novelist, Sophie von La Roche who wrote the first epistolary novel in German and published the first women’s magazine in the country, “Pomona für Teutschlands Töchter” . She was a writer from the Empfindsamkeit movement of literature.
