Produktbeschreibung
Traveling Traditions seeks to fill a major gap in the fields of Nineteenth-Century American and British Studies by examining how nineteenth-century intellectuals, a group including women as well as men, shape and re-shape aesthetic traditions across the Atlantic Ocean. The study explores a group of salient cultural concepts, such as realism, translation, the picturesque, and imagination. Although embedded in particular aesthetic traditions, these concepts travel from one culture to another and are transformed along their transatlantic journeys. The purpose of this book is to investigate the roles of these "traveling concepts” within the realm of transatlantic cultures and to trace their at times surprising paths within ever-widening transnational intellectual networks.
This study seeks to fill a major gap in the fields of Nineteenth-Century American and British Studies by examining how nineteenth-century intellectuals shaped and re-shaped aesthetic traditions across the Atlantic Ocean. Special attention is paid to a group of salient cultural concepts, such as artist-as-hero, imagination, the picturesque, reform, simultaneity, and seriality. Although embedded in a particular aesthetic tradition, these concepts travel from one culture to another and are transformed along their transatlantic journeys. The purpose of this book is to explore the roles of these 'traveling concepts' within the realm of transatlantic cultures and to trace their at times surprising paths within ever-widening transnational intellectual networks.
