Origins and Afterlives of Robinson Kreutznaer: Anglo-German London in the Eighteenth Century - Professor Alexander Regier (Rice University)

<p>This lecture is about the polyglot and multilingual character of eighteenth-century London, paying particular attention to its Anglo-German dimensions and communities. Departing from the example of Robinson Kreutznaer —Robinson Crusoe’s given name— we will explore a rich tapestry of cultural, literary and religious practices that allow us to reconsider the role of multilingualism at the centre of the often supposedly monoglot British empire.</p>
