REPRESENTATIONS OF GLOBAL CIVILITY - SASCHA R K...

Perhaps unexpectedly  English travel writing during the long eighteenth century reveals a
discourse of global civility. By bringing together representations of the then already familiar
Ottoman Empire and the largely unknown South Pacific  Sascha Klement adopts a uniquely global
perspective and demonstrates how cross-cultural encounters were framed by Enlightenment
philosophy  global interconnections  and even-handed exchanges across cultural divides. In so
doing  this book shows that both travel and travel-writing from the seventeenth to the
nineteenth centuries were much more complex and multi-layered than reductive Eurocentric
histories often suggest.
