- Summary:
- This is an autobiographical reflection on a long academic life by Timms, who is perhaps best known for his two-volume study Karl Kraus--Apocalyptic Satirist and for founding the German-Jewish Centre at the U. of Sussex, UK. A key focus of the work is the role of educational institutions in shaping and reshaping the self and the interests and productions of an intellectual life, particularly the so-called "new map of learning" at Sussex in the 1960s.
