NEITHER A BORROWER FORGING TRADITIONS IN FRENCH, CHINESE AND ARABIC POETRY

UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD

The European Humanities Research Centre of the University of Oxford organizes a range of academic activities, including conferences and workshops, and publishes scholarly works under its own imprint, LEGENDA. Within Oxford, the EHRC bridges, at the research level, the main Humanities faculties: Modern Languages, English, Modern History, Classics and Philosophy, and Music and Theology. The Centre facilitates interdisciplinary research collaboration throughout these subject areas and provides an Oxford base for advanced researchers in the Humanities.

The Centres publications programme focuses on making available the results of advanced research in medieval and modern languages and related interdisciplinary areas. An Editorial Board, whose members are drawn from across the British university system, covers the principal European languages and literatures. The legenda list currently includes works on Arabic, Catalan, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Yiddish literature. In addition, the EHRC co-publishes with the Society for French Studies, the Modern Humanities Research Association and the British Comparative Literature Association. The Centre publishes a Special Lecture Series under the Legenda imprint, and the journal Oxford German Studies.
