The Extraordinary Voyage in French Literature From 1700 to 1720 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Extraordinary Voyage in French Literature From 1700 to 1720
This study is the continuation of a book on the Extraordinary Voyage in French Literature before 1700 (I). In October, 1916, I began an investigation of this type of novel at the suggestion of M. Gustave Lanson, who was at that time lecturing at Columbia University, and whom it was my good fortune to serve as office assistant. The extent of the subject made it necessary to limit the first volume of the study, arbitrarily, to a consideration of the Extraordinary Voyages before 1700. It is my purpose in this second volume to consider the novels of the same type which were published in the years 1700-1720.
The year 1720 is not an arbitrary date. It marks the publication of one of the important Extraordinary Voyages in French Literature. It also marks the beginning of a period of strong English influence in the French voyage novel.
Until the year 1720, the novel of Extraordinary Voyage developed gradually in French Literature, without any great indebtedness either to English or to Spanish writers. The realistic setting of French Extraordinary Voyages was based almost entirely upon French accounts of travel.
