Summary
13 June 2015⎪3pm⎪Long room⎪Free admission
Part of a series of talks accompanying our Germans in Britain exhibition run at Murray Edwards College Cambridge.
The number of Germans who entered Britain between 1815 and 1914 probably exceeded the entire total who made their way to the country during the previous thousand years. One of them was a young academic, Karl Breul, who arrived in Cambridge in 1884 to teach German in the University. How did he teach, who did he teach and how did the Modern and Medieval Languages Tripos evolve?
