We (Hannah Eldridge and Sonja Klocke) are excited to join Hans Adler as co-editors for the year of 2019, and we are grateful to Hans for remaining on to help us acclimate to our roles before his well-earned retirement from the journal in 2020. We thank all of the authors, evaluators, and book reviewers who have contributed to Monatshefte; we share Hans’s gratitude to Book Review Editor Sabine Gross and our Editorial Assistants. We look forward to productive collaboration with the UW Press and to working with scholars across German Studies as authors and reviewers.
