Book Description
Excerpt from Journey From Moscow to Constantinople: In the Years 1817, 1818 The rapidity with which the following journey was performed will sufficiently account for the very imperfect observations contained in its recital; though I am afraid it will be more obviously urged as a reason why the narrative should have been withheld altogether from the Public. But, the establishment of the imperial court in the antient capital of Moscow, the details of the restoration of that city, and the route thence to Constantinople, are circumstances that have, at least, the recommendation of novelty; and any information concerning the critical and unsettled political relations of the contiguous empires of Russia and Turkey, with which the recent flight of the Hospodar of Wallachia will probably be found to be connected, may have its value, especially when viewed with reference to the actual state of tranquillity of the rest of Europe.

The Idea of Europe in British Travel Narratives, 1789-1914
Author: Katarina Gephardt
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317028120
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
The nineteenth century was the heyday of travel, with Britons continually reassessing their own culture in relation to not only the colonized but also other Europeans, especially the ones that they encountered on the southern and eastern peripheries of the continent. Offering illustrative case studies, Katarina Gephardt shows how specific rhetorical strategies used in contemporary travel writing produced popular fictional representations of continental Europe in the works of Ann Radcliffe, Lord Byron, Charles Dickens, and Bram Stoker. She examines a wide range of autobiographical and fictional travel narratives to demonstrate that the imaginative geographies underpinning British ideas of Europe emerged from the spaces between fact and fiction. Adding texture to her study are her analyses of the visual dimensions of cross-cultural representation and of the role of evolving technologies in defining a shared set of rhetorical strategies. Gephardt argues that British writers envisioned their country simultaneously as distinct from the Continent and as a part of Europe, anticipating the contradictory British discourse around European integration that involves both fear that the European super-state will violate British sovereignty and a desire to play a more central role in the European Union.
