Through his novel, the world was converted into a personal itinerary, scaled to the individual traveller and, by extension, to the individual reader. Exploring Verne?s modern legacy, this study shows how subsequent generations of artists and writers took on Around the World in Eighty Days as an adaptable guidebook to the modern world. It investigates how Verne?s work leads its reader beyond the book itself. It considers Verne?s place in world literature, traces some of the many real reenactments of Verne?s itinerary, and recalls the theatrical adaptations of Verne?s story. Published to coincide with the 500th anniversary of the first circumnavigation and the 150th anniversary of Verne?s novel, this book offers new insights into the largely overlooked influence of Verne on twentieth-century literature andculture and on the field of global modernism. Kevin Riordan is Assistant Professor in the School of Humanities at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. 606 $aComparative literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y19th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aSpace 606 $aCulture 606 $aDrama 606 $aComparative Literature 606 $aNineteenth-Century Literature 606 $aTwentieth-Century Literature 606 $aSpace and Place in Culture 606 $aDrama 615 0$aComparative literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aSpace. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aDrama. 615 14$aComparative Literature. 615 24$aNineteenth-Century Literature. 615 24$aTwentieth-Century Literature. 615 24$aSpace and Place in Culture. 615 24$aDrama. 676 $a809.9332 676 $a809.9332 700 $aRiordan$b Kevin$01239894 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910574083903321 996 $aModernist Circumnavigations$92876455 997 $aUNINA
