Proseminar
SoSe 23: PS-Surveying English Literatures: Travel Fiction
James Daniel Mellor
Comments
There has always been an ambiguous relationship between travelogues and fiction, this course surveys the historical interaction between accounts of travel and the development of the novel. This course will include a lot of reading, of primary and secondary texts, with the view to examine what historically counts for a tellable journey, how the reception of foreign travel in Europe became inward looking, and how metafiction created a new genre that reflects on life as a journey. Please read J. M. Coetzee’s Life & Times of Michael K. before the first class. close
