Hans Eichner was among the Jewish intellectuals who fled Nazi Germany and Austria in the 1930s, later influencing German Studies in the English-speaking world. He settled in Canada, teaching at Queen’s University and the University of Toronto. Eichner gained recognition for his scholarship on Thomas Mann, German Romanticism, and as a co-editor of Friedrich Schlegel’s collected works. This volume features essays by his colleagues, friends, and students, exploring themes of Romanticism, Humanism, and Judaism, which were central to Eichner’s scholarly pursuits. Contributors honor his legacy as a scholar and teacher, as well as his autobiographical novel about the experiences of Hungarian-Austrian Jews, written later in life. The essays reflect on the complexities faced by a Jewish scholar dedicated to German literature, particularly in the aftermath of the Holocaust. They illuminate Eichner's profound engagement with these themes and his unique position within the literary landscape, showcasing the impact of his work and the enduring significance of his contributions to the field.
