Description

This scholarly work presents the first comprehensive examination of American travel writing about nineteenth-century Ottoman Palestine, tracing a coherent literary tradition from late-eighteenth-century Barbary captivity narratives through the nineteenth century. Brian Yothers demonstrates how major writers including Twain and Melville contributed to a varied but unified body of work about the Holy Land, analysed alongside missionary accounts, religious pilgrimage chronicles, and captivity narratives. The book establishes the influence of earlier Barbary narratives on subsequent Middle Eastern travel writing, revealing previously unexamined connections across these genres. Published by Routledge, this volume offers literary scholars, historians, and students of American letters a foundational text for understanding how American writers engaged with the Ottoman Middle East and constructed their representations of sacred geography through multiple literary forms and perspectives.
