Die Weltreiseberichte von Humboldt, Krusenstern und Langsdorff
Overview & Synopsis
Comparisons are omnipresent in the European world travel literature of the 18th and 19th centuries, helping travelers to understand the diversity and history of the world and to establish hierarchies among objects. This volume addresses the practices used in travel accounts by Alexander von Humboldt, Adam Johann von Krusenstern, and Georg Heinrich von Langsdorff, showing that comparison was central to the generation of coherent world knowledge.
