Autorenporträt
Brian Murdoch is Emeritus Professor of German at Stirling University, and has held visiting fellowships at Cambridge and Oxford, where he delivered the Hulsean and the Speaker's lectures. He has also given the Waynflete lectures at Magdalen College, Oxford. He has published widely on medieval and renaissance religious (and also heroic) literature in German, English, the Celtic languages, and on a comparative basis, with handbooks on Old High German and on Cornish literature. He has been particularly concerned with the Bible and apocryphal writings, and especially the theme of Adam and Eve in vernacular literature, and in 2009 he published a study of the apocryphal Adam books. In the modern field he has written extensively on the literature of the world wars, notably on Erich Maria Remarque (a book on his novels appeared in 2006), and has published a number of translations from Latin and from medieval and modern German.
