L'essor actuel des recherches sur les récits de voyage médiévaux se nourrit d'un renouveau des perspectives et des approches. Les dix contributions présentes dans ce volume explorent deux pistes : d'une part les liens entre récits de voyage et géographie, d'autre part la place de ces récits dans le développement d'une quête du "moi" au cours du Moyen Age. La frontière entre récit viatique et traité de géographie est floue et les définitions de ces deux domaines demeurent poreuses tout au long du Moyen Age.De la même façon, la place que tient l'écriture du voyage dans la naissance de l'autobiographie est significative et les histoires de ces deux genres littéraires se croisent fréquemment. Ces deux aspects, souvent opposés, rarement rassemblés, ne sont cependant pas antinomiques, mais méritent d'être examinés de façon conjointe. En effet, le voyageur, confronté à des lieux et des expériences nouveaux, qui viennent enrichir les connaissances géographiques, est aussi amené à un retour sur soi et à un questionnement sur son identité.

Mapping Medieval Geographies explores the ways in which geographical knowledge, ideas and traditions were formed in Europe during the Middle Ages. Leading scholars reveal the connections between Islamic, Christian, Biblical and Classical geographical traditions from Antiquity to the later Middle Ages and Renaissance. The book is divided into two parts: Part I focuses on the notion of geographical tradition and charts the evolution of celestial and earthly geography in terms of its intellectual, visual and textual representations; whilst Part II explores geographical imaginations; that is to say, those 'imagined geographies' that came into being as a result of everyday spatial and spiritual experience. Bringing together approaches from art, literary studies, intellectual history and historical geography, this pioneering volume will be essential reading for scholars concerned with visual and textual modes of geographical representation and transmission, as well as the spaces and places of knowledge creation and consumption.

Few figures from history evoke such vivid Orientalist associations as Marco Polo, the Venetian merchant, explorer, and writer whose accounts of the "Far East" sparked literary and cultural imaginations. The essays in Marco Polo and the Encounter of East and West challenge what many scholars perceived to be an opposition of "East" and "West" in Polo's writings. These writers argue that Marco Polo's experiences along the Silk Road should instead be considered a fertile interaction of cultural exchange. The volume begins with detailed studies of Marco Polo's narrative in its many medieval forms (including French, Italian, and Latin versions). They place the text in its material and generic contexts, and situate Marco Polo's account within the conventions of travel literature and manuscript illumination. Other essays consider the appropriation of Marco Polo's narrative in adaptations, translation, and cinematic art. The concluding section presents historiographic and poetic accounts of the place of Marco Polo in the context of a global world literature. By considering the production and reception of The Travels, this collection lays the groundwork for new histories of world literature written from the perspective of cultural, economic, and linguistic exchange, rather than conquest and conflict.
