The texts chosen for this seminar reflect, on the one hand, the experience gained and the presuppositions involved in crossing the border between the United States and British North America/Canada (especially topics 1-4). They mirror, on the other hand, the encounter of North American travelers with European settings and cultures on transatlantic journeys, evincing different attitudes and relationships, which are partly shaped by traditional images of the imagined map of Europe.
