Description
Transports Travel, Pleasure, and Imaginative Geography, 1600-1830 explores how travelers in early modern Europe understood and represented their experiences of foreign lands. From the seventeenth century to the early nineteenth century, the Grand Tour played a significant role in shaping travel and imaginative geography.
The book delves into various topics, including narrative orderings of travel, visual representations of exotic objects, and the experience of Rome. It also examines how concepts of pleasure and enjoyment became intertwined with descriptions of foreign lands, as well as the ways in which travelers crossed boundaries and exceeded limits.
Contributors from diverse fields, including history, art history, literary theory, and anthropology, offer a range of original perspectives on this period. This collection provides a rich understanding of how people understood and represented their encounters with the foreign during this time.
