Description

Explore the fascinating history of how literature shaped perceptions of North America between 1760 and 1840. In this scholarly work, Robin Jarvis addresses a major gap in travel writing research by focusing on contemporary reception. Instead of just looking at what was written, this book examines how readers actually engaged with the accounts of explorers, emigrants, and tourists. By analyzing a wide range of primary sources, including personal journals, letters, and reviews in the periodical press, Jarvis reveals the ideas and perceptions held by people who may have never even visited the North American continent. This study provides a deep look into the production and distribution of travel literature during the Romantic era. It is an essential resource for students and researchers interested in nineteenth-century transatlantic studies and the cultural impact of travel narratives.
