Abstract
German literature has a long memory for the relationship between people and the environments they inhabit. Let us consider Goethe: Goethe’s late novel Wahlverwandschaften, first published in 1809, opens in a tree nursery on a large landed estate, where the owner Eduard has been busy with the task of budding new trees, ‘frisch erhaltene Pfropfreiser auf junge Stämme zu bringen’.

期刊介绍:
Oxford German Studies is a fully refereed journal, and publishes in English and German, aiming to present contributions from all countries and to represent as wide a range of topics and approaches throughout German studies as can be achieved. The thematic coverage of the journal continues to be based on an inclusive conception of German studies, centred on the study of German literature from the Middle Ages to the present, but extending a warm welcome to interdisciplinary and comparative topics, and to contributions from neighbouring areas such as language study and linguistics, history, philosophy, sociology, music, and art history. The editors are literary scholars, but seek advice from specialists in other areas as appropriate.
