Prof.
Dennis Mahoney is Professor of German in the Department of German and
Russian at the University of Vermont. From 2006-2008, he was Director
of the Global
Village Residential Learning
Community at the Living/Learning Center, where he also has served
as
Director of our department's German House Program. He was
honored with UVM's 2001
Kroepsch-Maurice Award for Excellence in Teaching (Full
Professor). His expertise on the literature of the Age of Goethe,
German Romanticism, German intellectual movements, and the German film
have earned him a guest professorship at the University of Augsburg in
Germany. He is the author of numerous articles on Goethe, Novalis,
Schiller, and others. His book on the Roman der Goethezeit is a
seminal work and has brought him national and international
recognition. This is also the case for his three books on the German
Romantic writer Novalis, two written in German and one in
English. His book on the Critical Reception of Novalis'
Novel "Heinrich von Ofterdingen" is a model for the literary
reception theory, and was named one of Choice magazine's
"Outstanding Academic Books for 1995." In his most recent book
project, he served as editor of The
Literature of German
Romanticism (2004), which is volume 8 in the Camden House History of German Literature series,
the most detailed history of German Literature in English.Last modified September 15 2009 11:36 AM
