Why Is Ewald Flügel Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Ewald Flügel was one of the international pioneers of the study of Old and Middle English Literature and Language and one of the founding professors of English Studies at Stanford University. Biography Flügel, whose father and grandfather were involved in lexicographic projects and the teaching of English, was educated at the famous Nicolai School in Leipzig. He attended Leipzig University and received his doctoral degree with a dissertation on Thomas Carlyle in 1885, his postdoctoral degree with a study of Philip Sidney in 1888. From 1888 to 1892 he taught as "Privatdozent" at Leipzig and became coeditor of Anglia, Germany's second academic journal dedicated to the study of English. Because he was unable to find the coveted professorship at Leipzig, he accepted a position at the newly founded Stanford University in California in 1892, where he taught until his death in 1914. Together with Bernhard ten Brink, Julius Zupitza, John Koch, and Eugen Kölbing he counts among the most entrepreneurial founding scholars of English Studies.
