Mediating Modern Poetry is pleased to host the launch of Ulrike Draesner's new version of the Nibelungenlied:

Nibelungen . Heimsuchung (Reclam 2016)

This will take place on Tuesday 8th November (Tues of 5th week) at 5.30pm in Lecture Room 6 New College.

Ulrike Draesner will discuss her inspirations for the new work, the extraordinary illustrations by Karl Otto Czeschka (this is Reclam as you've never seen it before!) and read from the work. She will then be joined by  Professor Almut Suerbaum (Somerville) to discuss the use of the medieval materials and the importance of the Middle High German epic.
