Abstract

The Sophie Project, led by Dr. Michelle James, is an ongoing mentored research project which focuses on collecting and studying the written works of German-speaking women. The Sophie Project is currently publishing a five-volume Critical Edition Series, the first volume of which will be the Critically Annotated Works of Elisa von der Recke. My contribution to the project involved researching and locating more than a dozen portraits of Recke and writing an analytical essay to accompany them in the publication.
