Biographical Note: Ines Brunner took her M.A. degree in English Literature, Applied Linguistics and Education in August 2005. Her master’s thesis focussed on the Old English epic poem Beowulf and the reception of selected Christian and pagan elements by a mixed audience in terms of the reader-response theory. Ines studied at the Chemnitz University of Technology, spent one term abroad at the University of Sheffield/ UK, where she concentrated on intercultural and mediaeval studies, and was enrolled as a guest auditor at the Friedrich-Schiller-University of Jena for one term. In Jena she attended courses in Old and Middle English literature as well as in reading Old English with Manuscripts (palaeography). During her studies at the CUT she worked repeatedly as student assistant at the chair of English Literature and Applied Linguistics. Her research interests lie in the field of English mediaeval literary and linguistic studies, especially in the adapation of pagan literature to Christian needs, early English Christian literature, heroic poetry, and semantic change in the context of Christianisation. In March 2006, Ines was invited to the eighth annual meeting of the German Society for the Study of the English Middle Ages (Studientag zum Englischen Mittelalter, SEM VIII) in Munich where she presented her master's thesis to a scholarly audience. |
