Thank you very much, Excellency, for welcoming @karen-leeder.bsky.social, #KaiUwePeter, #MadeleineBrook and me on the occasion of the intensification of the partnership between #ModernLanguages #German @ox.ac.uk and @dlamarbach.bsky.social!
The Oxford Bodleian Libraries and German Literature Archive (DLA) in Marbach have a long history of cooperation, famously jointly purchasing Franz Kafka's letters and preventing them falling into private hands. Great to hear from @dlamarbach.bsky.social about this important 🇬🇧🇩🇪 partnership.
