Peter Hühn (born November 30, 1939 in Köslin , Pomerania ) is a German Anglicist .

Life

After studying English and German at the Universities of Hamburg and Tübingen , Hühn passed the first state examination for higher education in Hamburg in 1967 and received his doctorate in 1970 from the University of Hamburg with a dissertation on the subject of “The relationship between man and woman in the work of William Butler Yeats ”. From 1969 to 1974 Hühn was an assistant at the Pedagogical University in Bielefeld , from 1974 to 1983 Scientific Councilor and from 1983 until his retirement in 2005 Professor of English Studies at the University of Hamburg. Hühn's areas of work are the theory of poetry and the history of English poetry, as well as narratology , particularly with regard to plot structure and eventuality, and the transgeneric application of narratological approaches to poetry. Further areas of work are the detective novel and empirical reception research. From 2001 to 2007, Hühn was a member of the DFG research group on narratology in two projects, one on narratological poetry analysis and the other on eventuality in narrative literature. He is the lead co-editor of the Handbook of Narratology.

plant

In transferring the differentiated narratological methodology to poetry, especially in the mediation and sequence dimension, Hühn developed a new, interpretative approach to the analysis of poems in their poetically specific use of narrative elements. In the detailed recording of the mediality and sequentiality of poems, this approach goes beyond previous methods.
