Description

Explore how Romantic-era readers engaged with travel literature about North America through Robin Jarvis's groundbreaking scholarly examination. This Routledge study addresses a critical gap in travel writing scholarship by investigating contemporary reception practices from 1760 to 1840. Jarvis draws on periodical reviews, personal journals, letters, autobiographies, marginalia, and bibliographical evidence to reconstruct how individuals-many who never visited North America-formed their perceptions of the continent through explorers', travellers', emigrants', and tourists' accounts. By examining the ideas and perceptions held by armchair travellers, this book reveals how transatlantic literature shaped cultural understanding during the Romantic period. Essential for literary scholars, historians, and anyone interested in how travel narratives influenced intellectual life and geographical imagination in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.

Key Features
