Full textIn the mid-eighteenth century, Sicily became a new destination for European travelers. Witnessing the changes in the traditional European Grand Tour and the social and cultural upheavals of the continent, the travelogues in Sicily help to crystallize the perception of identities from the Self and the Other. The representations of ancient and modern Sicily expressed among the travelers of the eighteenth century will profoundly mark the collective imagination. In search of new viaticus experiences, remnants of ancient Sicily, on the one hand insular exoticism that fascinates readers since the "discovery" of the Pacific Islands andthe Indian Ocean, travelers will also be confronted with the destabilizing experience of the unknown and displacement. Giving meaning to the Sicilian otherness that expresses it selfbefore their eyes then becomes a necessity. And the use of theories of the time and stereotypes then allows to build a portrait of Sicily that reflects as much the representation of the Other Sicilian, as the travelers themselves. The historical and cultural heritage of Sicily makes it a destination in its own right. Taken by the attempts to share large geographical and cultural groups between the East and the West, of which Sicily, neither quite nor quite the other, seems on the contrary, to form this point of junction in the heart of the Mediterranean. Keywords : travel books, Sicily, representations, identities

Full textThe dissertation sets out to study 24 narratives of travel in Brittany published in Great Britain between 1840 and 1895. The emphasis is on the text, that is on Victorian discourse. The narratives which will be unknown to most readers, are analysed individually while their distribution into three major 'discursive constellations' enables the author to study three main aspects of victorian discourse : 'knowing', 'doing' and 'seeing'. One of the key hypotheses is that the discourse itself accounts for the emergence of typical features - the male peasant the megalith, gorse, hedges, markets, women, children, etc. - and that 'reality', far from serving as a basis for that discourse, is constructed by it. The work is less concerned with Brittany, the texts' ostensible subject than with victorian britain. The thesis is itself written as a voyage into these narratives of travel and tackles various aspects of victorian culture through the study of the victorians' relationship to their social and/or colonial others. The various tropes that have been identified show that one of the main aims of the bourgeois, metropolitan discourse of tourism was to delegitimize the peasant, to control in effect, the social and colonial peripheries of which he is a representative. The frequent appearance of animal figures in the text has emerged as the index of otherness ('wildness') par excellence, as if the hidden agenda of this discourse was to discipline and domesticate the unfettered body of'the other (which wyndham lewis, writing from Brittany early in this century, was to call 'the wild body'). The oxymoron emerges as the most common figure of rhetoric in these narratives on a Brittany written as a place where conflicting desires are blunted. It is a means of constructing a discourse which delights in the beautiful, the good and the tame the better to conceal the disorder which threatens victorian landscapes, victorian consciousness and victorian property

Full textTravel writing and experience to different parts of the world were quite popular in the 19th century, having inspired generations of Europeans to quest for exoticism and mythic origins of Western culture. Central Asia had always been one of these territories which attracted British travellers and explorers. The clandestine imperial rivalry between Russia and Britain for the mastery of Central Asia multiplied the number of British travellers towards this unknown Orient. Among the most famous travelogues of this period are those written by Alexander Burnes, a military envoy, by Armenius Vambéry, an orientalist, by Florentia Sale and Frances Duberly, officers’ spouses, by Henry Lansdell, a missionary, by Frederick Burnaby, an adventurer, and by many others. These travel narratives, versatile and heterogeneous, bring on a problem of generic definition. Our dissertation aims at examining the phenomenon of Otherness, inherent to travel writing, as well as at mapping within narrative perspective the geopolitical and literary concerns in Central Asia. By choosing this approach our work strives to avoid the reduction of the British travelling discourse in this particular geographical area to a simple legitimacy of imperial policy in the Victorian age

Full textThe thirty-four travel books that are the original source material of this thesis were all written by scottish travellers between 1814 and 1880. The first section examines the nature of their journeys and the various motivations for their visits fo france. The travellers fall into into six groups : witnesses of historical events, journalists (including john scott and angus b. Reach). Writers (notably walter scott and robert louis stevenson), valetudinarians, tourists and specialists. The records of their journeys are then examined from two angles. The second section presents the image of france as it is perceived and portrayed by the scottish travellers while the third section analyses the reflection of scotland discernable in the descriptions of france. The picture the travellers paint of france is overwhelmingly negative because their aim is almost always to enhance the reputation of great britain and so they tend to highlight the problems and weaknesses of france rather than is strong points. The travellers look at france from two different points of view which they adopt alternately depending on the situation : one british, or even anglo-british, the other more specifically scottish. The british point view reflects a clear feeling of superiority over france while the scottish point of view betrays the profound of. .

Full textOne of Sterne’s remarks has enabled readers to contrast The Sentimental journey (1768) with Smollett's travel book, Travels through France and Italy (1766), from the day the novel was published. They obviously differ through their literary forms. However, works of fiction as well as ideas expressed in letters or other non-fiction works by the authors and by their contemporaries, enable us to find clues to the questions they raised and the certainties they felt they could depend upon. This study therefore makes use of those two kinds of data to anchor the works in a period when economic evolution and its attendant social changes kindled both hopes and anxieties in the minds of observers, especially in England. The reactions of the authors and their contemporaries tend to show such signs of ambiguity and hesitancy as can be expected in a period of upheavals. Travel literature in the eighteenth century was immensely popular with the reading public. Although France and the Italian states had often been described, interest in these subjects did not wane, especially as, in the case of France, the period was one of commercial rivalry, often leading to military conflict. Yet, in spite of the many common points they share, the two authors differ as to their aims, messages and stylistic choices. Smollett writes an interesting, entertaining and useful travel book meant mainly for British readers, while Sterne favors the human aspect and thus the more universal condition that he finds in foreign lands and people

Full textAfter a brief historical skectch of european travel narratives, the seventy british travellers concerned are presented. Then their motivations, their atlantic crossing, their american journey are studied. They soon discover the state of the country through its poor transportation network and conveyances. In this vast rural region, only a few cities emerge. Agriculture is amply described under its multiple forms. Attracted by exoticism, the british take a special interest in the fauna, the fora and the climate. Their romantic appreciation of the landscape is already widely different from that of americans, just as their attitude twoards indians and slavery. Slavery is the most doucumented subject as all travellers describe it in its most diverse aspects. Religion and manners are also described; brutal manners are severely censured by the british. The description of slavery and manners originated violent polemics in england due to the domestic political situation and inflected deep wounds on american pride

Full textThe main collections of modern tourist handbooks appeared by the end of the 1830s and from the start they have been provided with a very precise checklist. We threw into light the various elements of those specifications through the study of guide-books from English-speaking countries devoted to Italy. It led us to question the nature and the evolution of tourist-related movements which are accompanied by this literary genre. We analysed the birth of and the writing about tourism by situating them in a larger cultural environnement. We tried to figure out what the motive for the journey was and what its highlights were : we stressed the travellers’expectations, their preconceived ideas and how the latter developed during the actual journey to Italy

Full textCross-cultural views on the lyric dramas in France and England: critical analysis of French and English accounts between 1699 and 1776. Accounts given by Frenchmen, after their travel in England, and by Englishmen, after their Grand Tour, gave information about practices of lyric dramas in France and England in eighteenth century. This thesis is based on the study of political, economic and social contexts surrounding the time of genesis of these texts. Each author is presented through his circle of friends and his artistic and cultural acquaintances. They knew very well their contemporaries’ works which they quoted or mentioned in their own works. Being subject to prejudices of their time, these writers gave precious information about lyric practices and testified of cultural differences between both countries. I have studied receptions of lyric practices in the Royal Academy of Music, in the Opéra-comique and in the Concert Spirituel at Paris, in the King’s Theatre, in minor theatres and pleasure gardens at London

Full textThis thesis explores the relationship between English travellers and the image of Switzerland over 250 years (from the 18th to the 20thcentury). While the reasons for and the manner of travelling changed from the Grand Tour to more modern mountaineering, the interest in images has grown. The starting point and the central theme are the hundreds of prints produced by the so-called “Swiss Kleinmeister” artists in the 18th century. The focus is on prints from English collections such as the National Trust, the British Library and the British Museum. In addition, travel literature will be analysed. The aim of this study is, firstly, to trace the different meanings the print could have to the travellers and, secondly, to detect the travellers’ favourite subjects. The method “artefact studies” and the concept of “object biography” will be used in order to study the prints in a non-exclusively artistic context. Some travellers and their Swiss prints reveal that there was a shift in their meaning and function: while in the18th century the prints were considered as travel souvenirs, they were considered as works of art from the 19th century on. One surprising result is that Grand tourists and mountaineers purchased as many costume prints as landscape prints
