• Biographical / Historical note:Hermann John Weigand was born in Philadelphia in 1892. Weigand received his bachelor's degree and a doctorate in Germanic studies from the University of Michigan, where he also taught from 1913 to 1918. Weigand then went on to teach at the University of Pennsylvania before his tenure at Yale, which began in 1929. He was a leading United States scholar of Germanic literature, with expertise in medieval literature, the age of Goethe and Romanticism, modern German poetry, and Henrik Ibsen. In 1933 his acclaimed study, Thomas Mann's Novel, Der Zauberberg; A Study, was published. Weigand taught at Yale for 32 years until retirement in 1961. He continued doing research and publishing articles, even though he lost his vision in 1965. Weigand died on September 3, 1985.
