Research Profile
Professor of German and Comparative Literature, Vera Profit’s publications reflect her interest in both French and German literature of the 20th Century. These include a study of the bi-lingual poet, Iwan Goll: Interpretations of Iwan Goll’s Late Poetry with a Comprehensive and Annotated Bibliography of the Writings by and about Iwan Goll. Her most recent monographs concern Karl Krolow: Ein Porträt meiner Selbst: Karl Krolow’s Autobiographical Poems (1945-1958) and their French Sources as well as Menschlich: Gespräche mit Karl Krolow. Also fascinated by psychology, she is currently engaged in yet another book-length study, provisionally entitled: Toward a Psychological and Literary Definition of Human Evil: Friedrich Dürrenmatt, Oscar Wilde and Max Frisch.
