The journals of contemporaries Jean-Baptiste Tavernier, Jean TheÌvenot, Laurent D'Arvieux, Guillaume-Joseph Grelot, Jean Chardin, and Antoine Galland reveal a rich corpus of political, social, and cultural elements relating to the Ottoman Empire at the time, enabling an appreciation of the diverse shapes that travel narratives can take at a distinct historical juncture. Longino examines how these writers construct themselves as authors, characters, and individuals in keeping with the central human project of individuation in the early modern era, also marking the differences that define each of these travelers -- the shopper, the envoy, the voyeur, the arriviste, the ethnographer, the merchant. She shows how these narratives complicate and alter political and cultural paradigms in the fields of Mediterranean studies, 17th-century French studies, and cultural studies, arguing for their importance in the canon of early modern narrative forms, and specifically travel writing. The first study to examine these travel journals and writers together, this book will be of interest to a range of scholars covering travel writing, French literature, and history"-- Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 163-167) and index. 650 0 $a Travelers' writings, French $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010117010 650 0 $a French prose literature $y 17th century $x History and criticism. 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / European / French. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / Europe / France. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LITERARY CRITICISM / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a French prose literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934829 650 7 $a Travelers' writings, French. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155743 650 7 $a FranzoÌsisch. $0 (DE-588)4113615-9 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Reiseliteratur. $0 (DE-588)4177612-4 $2 gnd 651 7 $a Osmanisches Reich. $0 (DE-588)4075720-1 $2 gnd 648 7 $a 1600 - 1699 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 830 0 $a Routledge research in travel writing ; $v 11. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2008170611 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180105030321.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E3BF0C7AF1E611E78A18091E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
