As a result the "literary genre" of traveller diaries experienced an unprecedented expansion. The seminar will centre upon the analysis of traveller's records in the cultural, confessional and political context of early modern Europe.
students will get familiar with a traveller diary as a highly specific genre of early modern culture and literature.
