Abstract: 

This chapter examines the life of a specific German refugee classical archaeologist, Otto Brendel, and explores the impact of academic networks and academic specialism on his emigration. Brendel was fired from his post in Germany in 1936 for being married to a ‘non-Aryan’. He did not have any direct connection with Oxford, but his subsequent life forms an interesting comparison with those scholars who did find a refuge at Oxford. He also makes an interesting case study in the wider landscape of classical archaeological work which had Oxford as its centre. The Richmond Archive, held in the Sackler Library, also provides a better understanding of some of the tensions and difficulties created as refugee academics attempted to rebuild their lives in Britain.
