- This 444-page monograph, drawing on extensive archival research in Germany and the UK, part-supported by an AHRC Research Fellowship, is the first history of German as a foreign language in Britain. Based on the analysis of hundreds of textbooks and other teaching materials over five centuries, as well as examiners’ reports and policy documents, it examines the changing motivations for teaching and learning German, changes in teaching methods, progress in describing the German language, and the representation of German culture and history to English-speaking learners. A chronological bibliography of several hundred textbooks provides a stimulus for further research.
