Curiosity and the Aesthetics of Travel-Writing, 1770-1840

Auteur: Leask, Nigel (Lecturer in the English Faculty, University of Cambridge, and Fellow of Queens' College, Cambridge)
Editeur: Oxford University Press
A study of the Romantic obsession with the "antique lands" of Ethiopia, Egypt, India, and Mexico, this title draws on both original texts and modern scholarship. It focuses on the unstable discourse of "curiosity" to offer a reformulation of the relations between literature, aesthetics and colonialism in the period.
