Campbell looks at works by pilgrims, crusaders, merchants, discoverers, even armchair fantasists such as Mandeville, as well as the writings of Marco Polo, Columbus, and Walter Raleigh. According to Campbell, these travel accounts are exotic because they bear witness to alienated experiences; European travelers, while claiming to relate fact, were often passing on monstrous projections. She contends that their writing not only documented but also made possible the conquest of the peoples whom she travelers described, and she shows how travel literature contributed to the genesis of the modern novel and the modern life sciences. 410 0$aACLS Fellows? publications. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 $aVoyages and travels 606 $aTravel in literature 606 $aExoticism in literature 606 $aTravel writing$xHistory 606 $aDifference (Psychology) in literature 606 $aEuropeans$zForeign countries$xHistory 606 $aEuropean literature$yRenaissance, 1450-1600$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism 606 $aGeography, Medieval 615 0$aVoyages and travels. 615 0$aTravel in literature. 615 0$aExoticism in literature. 615 0$aTravel writing$xHistory. 615 0$aDifference (Psychology) in literature. 615 0$aEuropeans$xHistory. 615 0$aEuropean literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature, Medieval$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aGeography, Medieval. 676 $a809/.93591 700 $aCampbell$b Mary B.$f1954-$01005727 712 02$aAmerican Council of Learned Societies. 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248084103316 996 $aThe Witness and the Other World$92312897 997 $aUNISA
