Cet ouvrage est une synthèse claire, vigoureuse et pertinente sur les voyages d'écrivains espagnols en Europe, au tournant du XIXe siècle. » L'analyse porte sur quinze récits de voyage, sélectionnés selon trois critères, l'inscription dans la période (1890-1910), la destination européenne des déplacements et l'identité sociologique de leurs auteurs : écrivains plus ou moins reconnus, envoyés spéciaux comme Emilia Pardo Bazán ou exilés comme Vicente Blasco Ibáñez. Sont abordés ici les questions d'identité et d'altérité, les motivations des voyageurs, la nature de leur quête, leurs difficultés à appréhender des cultures étrangères et ce dans un contexte historique précis, celui de la fin d'un Empire espagnol. Avant même la date mythique de 1898, les essais d'intellectuels désenchantés illustrent un profond pessimisme ambiant. L'Europe s'affirme alors comme un modèle pour l'Espagne et les capitales européennes deviennent une destination obligée pour des voyageurs fascinés par les espaces urbains, notamment Paris, la Ville lumière... Élisabeth Delrue nous offre un ouvrage dense, riche et varié, dont l'originalité vient de sa volonté de toujours lier intimement les différentes sortes "d'images discursives" (locuteur, destinataire et modernité) à la personnalité même du locuteur, authentique "médiateur culturel" qui fait du lecteur un acteur à part entière dans cette Espagne de l'immédiat "après-désastre", partagée plus que jamais entre repli identitaire et ouverture vers les cultures de l'Autre.

Mobility at Large explores a unique trajectory of travel writing. Instead of focussing on best-selling travel texts by Paul Theroux, Bill Bryson, Michael Palin, Alain de Botton and others, this book examines a strand of innovative contemporary travel writing wherein the authors experiment with form, content and the politics of representation. In this, innovative travel texts by a range of writers from Michael Ondaatje and Caryl Phillips to Daphne Marlatt and Sam Miller transform the genre by inscribing travel, migration, mobility and displacement within a variety of experimental textual strategies to work through questions of movement and the politics of personal identity in relation to the complex interlocutions of space, place and subjectivity. As a result, Mobility at Large challenges those critics who dismiss the genre as inherently conservative and inextricably bound up in a colonial, Eurocentric tradition. The book also documents a long and rich tradition of travel writing that existed well beyond the influence of Europe.

Medieval romances so insistently celebrate the triumphs of heroes and the discomfiture of villains that they discourage recognition of just how morally ambiguous, antisocial or even downright sinister their protagonists can be, and, correspondingly, of just how admirable or impressive their defeated opponents often are. This tension between the heroic and the antiheroic makes a major contribution to the dramatic complexity of medieval romance, but it is not an aspect of the genre that has been frequently discussed up. Focusing on fourteen distinct characters and character-types in medieval narrative, this book illustrates the range of different ways in which the imaginative power and appeal of romance-texts often depends on contradictions implicit in the very ideal of heroism.

Griechenland dient bis weit ins 20. Jahrhundert als ein zentraler, teilweise hoch ideologisierter Projektionsraum für die deutsche Identitätsfindung und -konstruktion. Auch nach Abflauen des traditionellen Philhellenismus ist der Bezug auf dieses Land unter veränderten Vorzeichen aktuell: Nietzsches Tragödienschrift, die Arbeiten von Jacob Burckhardt und anderen Autoren bilden den Hintergrund dieser Versuche, sich einer immer noch als maßgeblich erachteten Kultur anzunähern. Dabei kommt gerade der Reiseliteratur eine besondere Bedeutung zu, da sie besondere Strategien der Authentisierung und Beglaubigung ermöglicht. Diese Studie untersucht deutschsprachige Reiseberichte über Griechenland aus dem Zeitraum von 1908 bis 1962, den Erscheinungsjahren der Texte von G. Hauptmann und W. Koeppen. Erstmals wird ein wesentlicher Bestandteil des deutschen Griechenlanddiskurses zugänglich gemacht, in übergreifenden Strömungen verortet und eingehend analysiert: Die Bandbreite reicht von den Subjektivitätsentwürfen der Jahrhundertwende (Hauptmann, Hofmannsthal) über die politisch akzentuierten Reiseberichte aus der Weimarer Republik und dem Dritten Reich (Kästner) bis hin zu den skeptischen Distanzierungen der Nachkriegsjahre (Koeppen).
