German Literary Travelogues Around the Turn of the Century, 1890-1914

The development of non-fictional travel literature (the literary travelogue) at the turn of the century (1890-1914) shows a cyclical pattern. After a short-lived revival of interest from 1890 to 1892, resulting from the emergence of Impressionism, the younger generation of writers did not practice the genre until after 1900. Why this break in development should have occurred is one of the questions addressed in the present thesis. The discussion focuses on the rapid cultural and social changes of the period in order to determine which might or might not have been favorable to the development of the genre in general.
