Subject: Q: E-mail to Dresden

I am trying to reach Christoph Houswitschka of the University
of Dresden, Institut fur Anglistik, by either e-mail or by
telephone. Communications in Dresden are apprently difficult,
as they are throughout the former East Germany, but I was wondering
if anyone would have either an e-mail address or a telephone number
for the University of Dresden. Houswitschka may still have some
connection with the Institut for Anglistik at Regensburg, so if
anyone would have an e-mail address for that institution, I would
be grateful if they could forward it to me.

Thank you,
Bill Watts

Can anyone help me identify a comic novel of college days in which a
female student, infuriated by patient Griselda, concocts her own
stanzas to make the tale come out right, and when she is supposed to
stand at the front of the class and recite her memorization from _The
Clerk's Tale_, she comes out with this instead:
 
                Whan that Grisilde's doghter was ytaken
                She silently devysed hire a planne
                For to revenge swich deed she wold not slaken
                Though Walter bynne a markys and a manne.
                Whil in her veynes the fury swifte yrannne,
                To Walter chambre stoleth shee by nighte,
                And whispred, "Yor dere wyf namoore I highte."
 
                Up reyse she hir axe as up he sterte
                And cleved she his manhood right in tweyne.
                "Ye be nat fitte to lyve, withouten herte,"
                Said she, whil Walter clutch'd himself in peyne.
                "Next comes yor nekke; the blood will flow like reyne!
                Me liketh not to soffre as ye heste.
                Yor kyngdom now is myne!"  She axed his breste.
 
 
This has been passed on to me only in an incomplete excerpt from an
unidentified anthology. The heading is "More Schooling: The 'Trout,'
1958," which I believe is a play on "trouthe." I'm not sure whether
the title on either side of the colon is authentic or invented for the
anthology.  The narrator is a young woman, and the scene is set at
Columbia University.

This is the first time I have sent a question to The Humanist. I hope I am doing
 this correctly.
 
I wonder if any members have thoughts on whether religion was a source of
strength for Jews who managed to survive in the concentration camps.
 
Am aware of the opposite view, but believe there must be much evidence
to support the proposition that religious belief did sustain many survivors.
 
Comments would be appreciated.
