Omschrijving
By creating an 'idea of America,' popular New World travel writing offered an understanding of America through British eyes, and a lens through which 19th-century Britain could view itself. Nineteenth-Century British Travelers in the New World demonstrates the importance of 19th-century New World travel writing.
'This book is a key contribution to the larger dialogue about literature and nationalism. While the collection works to expand the context for understanding better known figures such as Martineau, Trollope, and Dickens, it also usefully illuminates the work of lesser-known travel writers such as Basil Hall and Isabella Bird. In exploring the further reaches of nineteenth-century British travel writing, the volume invites us to read it as a history of nineteenth-century cultural nationalism.' NBOL-19 'Victorianists, Atlanticists, Americanists, and general readers will find much to appreciate here both in the strategies employed by the contributors and editor, and in the archival research and fine detail.' Wordsworth Circle 'Christine DeVine's collection is a welcome addition to the well- established but stillgrowing fields of transatlantic studies and the study of travel writing ...' Victorian Studies
