will present:

Transit: Narrating Diaspora, Escaping History

Elisa Ronzheimer is Akademische Rätin in the department of Comparative Literature at Bielefeld University. Elisa studied piano, German and French literature in Bonn, Cologne, Paris and New Haven. In 2018 she completed her PhD in German at Yale University with a dissertation entitled "Poetologies of Rhythm: Verse Forms ca. 1800 (Klopstock, Hölderlin, Novalis, Goethe, Tieck)" which will appear at De Gruyter in 2020. Elisa is interested in eighteenth-century poetics and aesthetics, theories of the lyric and concepts of poetic form between music and language. She currently works on a second book project which traces the 'afterlife' of stylistics as a method of interpretation in structuralist and post-structuralist literary theory.
