    This book explores how travel writing contributed to cultural and intellectual exchange in and between the Dutch- and German-speaking regions from the 1790s to the 20th-century. By combining a narrative perspective on travel writing with a socio-historically contextualized approach, essays emphasize the importance of textuality in travel literature as well as the self-positioning of such accounts in their individual historical and political environments. They address cultural, aesthetic, political, and gendered aspects of travel writing, drawing on areas of research including comparative literature, aesthetics, the history of science, literary geography, and the history of publishing.

  • - Theory and Practice

  • - Nationalism, Ideology, Gender
     
    624,95 kr.

    This book examines how non-fictional travel accounts were rewritten, reshaped, and reoriented in translation between 1750 and 1850, a period that saw a sudden surge in the genre''s popularity. It explores how these translations played a vital role in the transmission and circulation of knowledge about foreign peoples, lands, and customs in the Enlightenment and Romantic periods. The collection makes an important contribution to travel writing studies by looking beyond metaphors of mobility and cultural transfer to focus specifically on what happens to travelogues in translation. Chapters range from discussing essential differences between the original and translated text to relations between authors and translators, from intra-European narratives of Grand Tour travel to scientific voyages round the world, and from established male travellers and translators to their historically less visible female counterparts. Drawing on European travel writing in English, French, German, Spanish, and Portuguese, the book charts how travelogues were selected for translation; how they were reworked to acquire new aesthetic, political, or gendered identities; and how they sometimes acquired a radically different character and content to meet the needs and expectations of an emergent international readership. The contributors address aesthetic, political, and gendered aspects of travel writing in translation, drawing productively on other disciplines and research areas that encompass aesthetics, the history of science, literary geography, and the history of the book.

    This collection examines the intersections between the personal and the political in travel writing, and the dialectic between mobility and stasis, via an analysis of cases across geographical and historical boundaries. Essays explore the ways in which travel texts represent actual political conditions and thus engage in discussions about national, transnational, and global citizenship, demonstrating how travel writing¿s reception and ideological interventions also transform personal and cultural realities. It thus examines the ways in which politics¿ material effects inform and intersect with personal experience in travel texts and engage with travel¿s dialectic of mobility and stasis.
