Curiosity and the Aesthetics of Travel-Writing, 1770-1840: From an Antique Land'

Curiosity and the Aesthetics of Travel-Writing, 1770-1840: From an Antique Land'

The first book of its kind to study the Romantic obsession with the "antique lands" of Ethiopia, Egypt, India, and Mexico, Curiosity and the Aesthetics of Travel Writing is an important contribution to the recent wave of interest in exotic travel writing. Drawing generously on both original texts and modern scholarship in literature, history, geography, and anthropology, it focuses on the unstable discourse of "curiosity" to offer an important reformulation of the relations between literature, aesthetics, and colonialism in the period.
