Charlotte Jolles

Charlotte Alice Bertha Eva Jolles (5 October 1909 – 31 December 2003) was an Anglo-German literary scholar.

She worked with the children of refugees before she started teaching German at Watford Girls Grammar School.

[3] During the Cold War she was able to travel to Potsdam in East Germany as part of her research and she encountered no barriers.

In 1983 her 1936 Phd thesis was rediscovered in Berlin University and it could finally be published and it needed no corrections.

[3] Her obituary said "Charlotte Jolles did more for the study of Germany's greatest 19th-century novelist, Theodor Fontane, than anyone else in the 20th century".
