商品簡介
Bracewell (history, School of Slavonic and East European Studies, U. College London) and Drace-Francis (history, U. of Liverpool) and their 15 contributors have written a study of travel writing published in book form by East Europeans traveling in Europe from 1550 to 2000. While there are numerous such texts, many of them well-written and historically interesting, the body of work has been largely overlooked as a genre worthy of study. Because much of the material is now rare or simply hard to find, few bibliographical surveys of this kind have been written. This collection brings together writings within each national and linguistic tradition to enable researchers to conduct comparative analysis of the material.
