Beschreibung

By creating an 'idea of America,' popular New World travel writing offered an understanding of America through British eyes, and a lens through which nineteenth-century Britain could view itself. Nineteenth-Century British Travelers in the New World demonstrates the importance of nineteenth-century New World travel writing, examining narratives by some of the popular writers of the day, as well as paintings and drawings by travelling artists.

Portrait

Christine DeVine is Mary E. Dichmann/BORSF Endowed Professor of English at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, USA.
