Förlagets beskrivning
This book is a collective effort to investigate and problematise notions of time and temporality in European travel writing from the late medieval period up to the late nineteenth century. It brings together nine researchers in European travel writing and covers a wide range of areas, travel genres and languages, coherently integrated around the central theme of time and temporalities. Taken together the contributions consider how temporal aspects evolve and change in regard to spatial, historical, and literary contexts. In a chapter-by-chapter account this volume thus offers various case studies that address the issue of temporality by showing, for example, how time is inscribed in landscape, how travellers' encounters with other temporalities informed other disciplines; it interrogates the idea of 'cultural temporalities' in regard to a tension between past and future, passivity and progression; and focuses on how time is entangled in identity construction proper to travelogues
