Abstract

Nicole Robertson, Arthur Schnitzler in Great Britain: An Examination of Power and Translation. Bithell Series of Dissertations, vol. 49 (London: Institute of Modern Languages Research, 2022), 279pp. (Hb.) In the annals of Anglo-German cultural relations, the role of the Cambridge Uni- versity Library in securing the posthumous papers of celebrated German-lan- guage authors is a significant footnote. A case in point is that of Arthur Schnitzler.
