ABSTRACT
This volume identifies early nineteenth-century Europe’s sites of ‘culture’ and ‘civilisation’, and how such sites were employed to generate these notions. The collection also explores how such sites were constructed and experienced through travel and movement, recounting some of the period’s significant itineraries connecting regions and communities. But what happens when movement is seen to threaten ‘culture’ and ‘civilisation’? And what is at stake if we shift focus from the itineraries of the ‘civilised’ to seemingly uncivilised itinerants and their locations?
