Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters, During a Tour Through Some Parts of France, Savoy, Switzerland, Germany, and the Netherlands, in the Summer of 1817 17 I could have met the wishes of my friends in any other way than by the publication, of these Letters, they had never seen the light. But after many attempts and long delay, I found it impracticable, and, therefore, with much hesitation and reluctance, I committed them to the press. My intention at first was mere ly tapri'at, not to publish them, hoping thus to es cape the charge of obstinacy from my friends, and that of presumption from the public; but I soon perceii'ed that the plan of private cir culation would only involve me in innumerable didie ulties, and lat length found myself com pelled to publish. Thus I am unintentionally and unexpectedly placed in a new character, that of a tourist, before the tribunal of the.

Book Perceptions of Germany in British Travel Literature

Download or read book Perceptions of Germany in British Travel Literature written by Dimitrios Kassis and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-11 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the “beaten track”, Germany did not conform to the Grand Tourist ideals of eighteenth-century British travellers that were influenced by the spirit of the Enlightenment, and, therefore, sought to trace vestiges of the Greco-Roman cultural tradition in their ventures across the continent. It was not until the end of the eighteenth century that the German landscape becomes the central theme of British travel discourse, marking the gradual shift of focus from the “saturated” image of classical Greece to the rediscovery of the Old Germanic culture of the sagas. Driven by an antiquarian interest in the German context, British travellers discovered Germany in the wake of the nineteenth century, when the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire not only signalled French expansionism in Protestant Europe, but also stimulated the appetite of the Victorians for the exploration of the German culture in an attempt to define themselves as being of pure Teutonic stock. Given the strenuous struggle of German thinkers to deal with the feelings of humiliation and shame caused by the Napoleonic rule, and, in view of a potential Gallicisation, nineteenth-century Germans mastered the fields of comparative philology and Northern antiquarianism to transform their political weakness into a new cultural paradigm that not only fostered pan-Germanism through the rediscovery of the folk tales and legends of their medieval tradition, but also ascribed to Germany a superior spiritual role, which was later incorporated into the racial discourses of Germany and Britain. This book is concerned with the views of British travel writers, focusing on travel narratives produced from 1794 until 1845. As such, it sheds light on instances which pertain to the representation of Germanness in relation to the British national context.
