| Abstract | This is the first in a new series of sessions designed to showcase current work from British and Irish colleagues in German studies in order to foster a greater sense of the state of the field and to increase visibility outside German studies. Papers address medievalism, both in the new play commissioned for the Nibelungen theatre festival, adapting the Song of the Nibelungs to deal with culture clashes in a post-migrant society and in 19th-century Anglophone adaptations of the Song of the Nibelungs. A third paper deals with the little-researched Herzog Herpin, focusing on Toledo as a space where boundaries between gender and religion can be transgressed and new storylines can develop. |
