In Hilary Term, we shall be reading stories by the German writer Theodor Storm (1817- 1888), in translations by Dr. Ray Ockenden, Emeritus Fellow, Wadham College, who will join us for each session. Storm was one of the major figures of the realist movement in Germany, and wrote many short stories and novellas as well as poetry. He combined his writing with a career as a lawyer and later magistrate, mostly in the town of Husum in Schleswig-Holstein.
