Yet, beginning with the onset of tourism beyond Scandinavia in the 1840's, a compelling body of prose works documents Scandinavian attitudes toward foreign countries and further shows how these Scandinavian travelers sought to portray themselves to uncharted cultures.Focusing on Danish and Norwegian travelogues, Elisabeth Oxfeldt traces the evolution of Scandinavian travel writing over two centuries using pivotal texts from each era, including works by Hans Christian Andersen, Knut Hamsun, and Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen) 606 $aExoticism in literature 606 $aOther (Philosophy) in literature 606 $aPostcolonialism in literature 606 $aTravel in literature 606 $aTravelers in literature 606 $aTravelers' writings, Scandinavian$xHistory and criticism 607 $aAfrica$xIn literature 607 $aAsia$xIn literature 607 $aSouth America$xIn literature 615 0$aExoticism in literature. 615 0$aOther (Philosophy) in literature. 615 0$aPostcolonialism in literature. 615 0$aTravel in literature. 615 0$aTravelers in literature. 615 0$aTravelers' writings, Scandinavian$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a839.509 700 $aOxfeldt$b Elisabeth$01201833 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785687903321 996 $aJourneys from Scandinavia$93846221 997 $aUNINA
