Peter Hutchinson teaches German literature from 1700 to the present day and has a particular interest in literature since 1945, especially in living writers. One of his specialist subjects is the history of the former East Germany, the 'German Democratic Republic', and many of his publications have been devoted to aspects of the literature of dissent in that society. He has a strong interest in methods of teaching, both language and literature, and he has edited a number of modern texts which have regularly been used at A level and in first-year university courses. For many years he has been the literary editor of the teachers' journal
Deutsch: Lehren und Lernen, and he is Editor of the Bristol Classical Texts German Series.
