Overview

Anglo-German Scholarly Networks in the Long Nineteenth Century explores the complex and shifting connections between scientists and scholars in Britain and Germany from the late eighteenth century to the interwar years. Based on the concept of the transnational network in both its informal and institutional dimensions, it deals with the transfer of knowledge and ideas in a variety of fields and disciplines. Furthermore, it examines the role which mutual perceptions and stereotypes played in Anglo-German collaboration. By placing Anglo-German scholarly networks in a wider spatial and temporal context, the volume offers new frames of reference which challenge the long-standing focus on the antagonism and breakdown of relations before and during the First World War. Contributors include Rob Boddice, John Davis, Peter Hoeres, Hilary Howes, Gregor Pelger, Pascal Schillings, Angela Schwarz, Tara Windsor.

This interesting collection of ten essays, based on papers given at a Berlin conference in 2011, takes up anew the subject of relations between Germany and Great Britain in the spheres of science, scholarship, and education over the long nineteenth century [...] It does provide [...] a multifaceted, problem and source-minded, and readable survey and encourages further exploration into a truly entangled topic. Marc Schalenberg, in: Isis, Volume 107, Number 1, March 2016, pp. 204-205.
