Professor Emeritus Ernst S. Dick, Dr. Phil.
Alumnus of the University of Münster
Professor Ernst Dick teaches Germanic philology, medieval
literature, and modern German. Before joining the German department
at Kansas in 1968, he taught at the University of Virginia.
For shorter periods he was also affiliated with Johns Hopkins
University, the University of Montana, and the University
of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
His
primary research interests are Germanic word studies and medieval
German literature, especially in epic and romance. In the
modern period, he pursues reception studies of medieval epic,
but is also interested in the Novelle and in modern drama
(Dürrenmatt).
His
major publications include an etymological and semantic study
on central terms of Germanic religion and culture (Ae. DRYHT
und seine Sippe), several co-edited books, and numerous articles
on medieval German literature, Germanic philology, reception
studies, and folklore. Reflecting his secondary interest in
modern literature, he has also published articles on Annette
von Droste-Hüllshoff and Friedrich Dürrenmatt.
