Excerpt from The Extraordinary Voyage in French Literature Before 1700 Although I had originally intended to make a complete study of the history of the Extraordinary Voyage as a type of novel in French Literature, I have been obliged, by the extent of the subject, to limit my study in the present volume to the period preceding the year 1700. It is my purpose to continue in a second volume the investigation of the Extraordinary Voyages published since that date. It is only fitting to say that without the suggestion of Professor Lanson the present work never would have been begun, and that, without his continued interest, it certam never would have been completed. If in its accomplishment any credit whatever is to be accorded, this will have been due in large measure to the inspira tion received from Professor Lanson. If on the other hand, errors of statement or of judgment are discovered in it, they may be set down as exclusively my own.

Excerpt from The Extraordinary Voyage in French Literature From 1700 to 1720 In The Extraordinary Voyage in French Literature before 1700, I have acknowledged my indebtedness to M. Danson for his original suggestion of this field of research and for his continued interest while I was preparing that study for publication. It is a pleasure to acknowledge here the more recent inspiration and advice received from M. Lanson in the summer of 1920. His suggestions for this second book, at a time when I was reading in Paris and had access to the original documents, have been invaluable.

Travel narratives were the principal source of knowledge about the lands of the Near East and the Indian Ocean Basin in 17th-century France. Claiming the authority of first-hand observation, they paradoxically rely for their legitimization on the tropes of an established literary tradition. The status of these texts remained ambiguous, not least because of their anecdotal depictions of great riches, brutality or sexual promise. Drawing on the insights of post-colonial scholarship, this study tackles a question given scant attention in previous work and suggests that beyond the hazy representation of the Orient, an opposition emerges between the threatening Near East and the indolent East Indies. Distinguishing recognizable representations from those generated by new encounters, this book questions the feasibility of cultural representation through travel, exploring a large corpus of original sources written by French ecclesiastics, gentlemen-travellers, ambassadors and adventurers. Linguistic, religious, cultural or geographical barriers meant most travellers remained distanced from the peoples about whom they would simultaneously become authoritative. The encounter was further transformed in narratives that were intended to entertain and to satisfy the criterion of curiosité. The 'Oriental' that emerges is a supremely variable entity, alternately naked or veiled, barbaric or civilized, menacing or attractive.

Examining the emergence of modernism from the fin-de-siecle primitivist project this volume shows how ethnographic materials shaped a variety of high and low discourses (ethnology, social theory, gender construction, classical scholarship, as well as travel photography) at the turn of the century. Illustrated with 98 photographs and drawings."
