Good idea to make a seminar about Cotta, telling everybody to take a look at the Cotta biography which we do have in our university library and then expect everyone to hold presentations about Cotta.
Like sir, we have, in the whole university, 5 editions of that book. We also have bachelor students who maybe need that book, too. Literature students. Like, this book is incredible important for this seminar and none of us will buy it. And the one edition in the main library is already taken and reserved until February. As is the latest edition from 2017. We have two editions left. And since I will need that book for another seminar's presentation in January, too, you can expect that their will be only two editions left and since we have to write research papers, too... Well... I already see myself scan the whole book just in case, because I can't hold onto it that long without the library coming after me.
#prof hasn't thought this through#I am already pissed bc someone has the mail exchange between cotta and goethe which I really need for my presentation#prof had to scan half his book so that I could look at it and find like 2-3 letters that I can use#he also wants us to look for the texts ourselves#like dude#try to find one useful text about the reprints and vienna editions of Faust that is not about statistics or the publisher's bibliography#and I thought finding material about the LGBTQ+ community in Japan was difficult#but this topic#and I am in Germany#this is about shit that happened IN Germany#WHERE ARE THE PAPERS ABOUT THIS SHIT#what do I have to type into the search bar to find this???????#like not even google scholar can find shit about it?????#it was easier to find Mori Ougai's whole biography and works in German than anything about the Faust editions during Goethe's lifetime?????#I even found one paper about Mori's Faust edition by complete coincidence#but Faust in Austria?????
