The Lost Travellers: A Romantic Theme with Variations

This book is concerned with the analysis of various travel patterns in early-nineteenth-century verse. Examples are given to illustrate the main theme and its subsidiaries: the theme of wandering, in the first place, and then the topics of Time and Space, the archetypes, the travellers, the landscape, the land and sea jourbaneys. These chapters were originally delivered between 1952 and 1961 as public lectures in the University of Athens.
