Intellect

Thomas Martinec was Fellow in German at Lincoln College, Oxford, until he became Lecturer at the University of Regensburg. His research focuses on the relationship between tragedy and philosophy in the eighteenth century, on the relationship between poetry and music around 1900, and on the period after 1945, including film. He published a monograph on Lessing’s theory of tragedy’s effect (Niemeyer 2003), co-edited a volume on family and identity in German literature (P. Lang 2009) and is currently working on a book about the functions of music in German modernist poetics.
