In a series of detailed readings of Montaigne, Descartes, Montesquieu, and Rousseau, Van Den Abbeele examines the voyage inscribed in early modern French philosophy not only as a geographic and cultural process but as a metaphor for the enabling movement of thought itself.

Print Travels explores how metaphorical and actual descriptions of travel depict and shape early modern thinking and writing about movement. Changes in navigational methods, increases in circulation of travel literature, and advances in means of travel alter how early modern writers present movement. By integrating theories of metaphor with critical approaches to early modern literature, I argue that early modern systems of describing motion change the role of metaphor in the period. The first two chapters examine depictions of actual travel and changes in measurement associated with travel. Chapter one reads practical manuals of navigation and instructions for travelers and argues that the material descriptions of movement found in these texts have a decisive impact on the ways available to describe movement. Chapter two approaches Hakluyt's Principall Navigations as a singular but multi-voiced text. This chapter shows how disparities between the individual's perceptions of movement and larger-scale concerns of travel over greater distances opens the space for metaphoric descriptions to exist and change. The next three chapters examine metaphors and depictions of travel in more canonical texts. Chapter three reads the allegorical travel of Spenser's The Faerie Queene to examine how the characters describe their own movements and to explore the difficulties of translating navigational and mapping methods to a fictional world. Chapter four uses Ralegh's Discoverie of Guiana and Donne's Azores poems to examine how these forms overlay meaning and movement on one another. This comparison allows an exploration of representation of movement and stasis. The final chapter explores questions of movement and stasis in staged depictions of travel in Thomas Heywood's plays. By examining Heywood's plays across the era, I argue that we can map changes in the ways that travel is represented on the stage. I argue that later Heywood plays report travel rather than represent travel on the stage, showing a change in the way that travel can function metaphorically. Print Travels traces changes in the metaphoric descriptions of travel and provides a new way of reading travel metaphors in early modern texts.

This dissertation concentrates on the role of the conceptual metaphor LIFE IS A JOURNEY in English hymns of the 17th and 18th centuries, addressing the following research questions: 1) To what extent and in which contexts have elements of the lexical category of travel, applied metaphorically, been used in English spiritual language and literature in the period 1650?1800? 2) How has metaphorical extension affected the semantic development of this category? This dissertation discusses the use of travel metaphors as structural schemata for complete hymns, and analyzes the use of individual elements of travel-related terminology across a historical textual corpus. The analyses in this dissertation are undertaken in light of recent trends in semantics, and with the aim of contributing to the development of Cognitive Metaphor Theory as a tool for historical linguistic analysis and literary criticism.

The poems in Around the World on a Metaphor are inspired by travel and by coming home. Three parts of this collection are from previous chapbooks, locally produced and distributed. Most of the poems have not been seen outside the State of Washington. They represent twenty years of writing and teaching and traveling, sometimes all three together done together. Part I is based on teaching in China for three months in 2002 as the exchange professor from Peninsula College in Port Angeles, Washington. Part II is from a vacation in 2008 that included Amsterdam, Cairo and two cruises on the Nile. The poems in Part III were inspired in 1999 by one of my colleagues, Alice Derry, specifically her book of poetry about her relatives in East Germany, Strangers to Their Courage, whose influence then resulted in a trip to Germany, land of my ancestors. Part IV is all new poems, based on my recent diagnosis with cancer. Had it not been for the immediacy of my current situation, this book might never have come into existence. The overriding metaphor here is that life is a journey from East to West, from Sunrise to Sunset. Given the nature of Part IV, it is a work in progress and will remain that way up to the very end, but this book calls out to be published, so it does end on a final note that was written very early in the process.
