...actually I like the old stuff. As long it is not too old, medieval studies isn't really my thing.

For anyone wondering about Bavaria, btw, think German Norfolk/Forest of Dean, with bigger hills....

Good comment, PSD. Maybe it's even a bit like Wales... *ponder*

Don't get me wrong, I like the old stuff, I'm totally into Shakespeare and Marlowe, the Brontes are cool as well. Gothic Novels are fun. Basically, I'll read anything I'm asked to read and then make up my mind.
Ok, of course I choose my courses by the literature required, but I couldn't give you any general preferences, really.

Not quite the same as Wales, as they're characterised as humourless whingers who are into kinky things like close harmony singing.

Norfolk and Forest of Dean are places famed for the backwardness of the yokels

Oh, ok. the part of Wales where I was seemed quite backward to me, but fair enough. I was more thinking in terms of boundaries and trying to be a separate country within another.

hey, my in-laws live in Freiberg am Neckar at the moment and my hubby grew up in Berlin and Munich (graduated from high school in Munich)...his dad was US Army but is there now working for the US government.

They lived in a few other places when the hubby was younger, but I can't remember what the names are at the moment!

Anyway, I think it's great you guys are studying Jasper's books as a form of new literature and how the web is incorporated with today's new literature.

Seems like everybody here has some relations or other in Germany *g*

My oral report will be next Monday, I've got the handout and structure nearly ready, I've another meeting with my tutor today to finalise the details and decide which pictures to show to illustrate the homepage "flair" :-) Any ideas?

The Dodo's Uncle Herman is German and his mother was nurse to the Kaiser in the early 1920s!

Only tenuous link I know, but it's the best I can do :-)

Kaiser...?

...maybe Herr Kaiser of the Hamburg-Mannheimer Insurance Company. But I think he's too young for having had a nurse in the 1920ies.

Hmm. From what I know of the late Emperor Wilhelm II, he was quite likely to have needed a nurse in the 1920s, if by nurse you mean someone who runs a nursery. He always was a spoiled brat, and by the 20s some nasty big boys had taken his empire off him ....

Plus he must've had a nurse in some way because of his crippled arm. That should need medical assistance every once in a while. If he didn't have a psychotherapist, which would have been the better idea...
