His dissertation focuses on the reception of antique verse forms in the era of Weimar Classicism. The aim of the project is to rethink this canonical era from the perspective of its prosody, shifting the focus from the ethical-anthropological ideal of “Humanität” to the conflicts and contradictions between antiquity and modernity as they are embodied in the act of versification.
