Description

Explore the deep connections between American literature and the Middle East in this scholarly work from Routledge. The Romance of the Holy Land in American Travel Writing, 1790-1876, provides the first comprehensive look at how American writers documented nineteenth-century Ottoman Palestine. Author Brian Yothers examines a wide range of texts to show how a distinct tradition of travel writing emerged. By looking at the influence of late-eighteenth-century Barbary captivity narratives, this book explains how early American perspectives shaped later accounts of the region. This study brings together diverse voices to create a complete picture of the era. Readers can study the works of major literary figures like Mark Twain and Herman Melville alongside missionary accounts, religious pilgrimage chronicles, and captivity narratives. It is an essential resource for those studying literary history, American travel traditions, and the cultural perceptions of the Holy Land during the nineteenth century.
