Section Info:
Restricted to Chancellor's Scholars only; other students may only enroll with consent of instructor and Director of the Campus Honors Program. Topic: The History of Travel. Description: If history is virtual travel, what could be a more exciting itinerary than great voyages of discovery? Travel expeditions from Columbus to the present provide fascinating glimpses of contact between European and non-European peoples. They also made it possible for Europeans to map, explore, and conquer the vast reaches of the world. This class will explore these voyages, some real. others fictional. We will discuss the ambitions of statesmen at home, the drama of life at sea, the impact of encounters on hosts abroad, and the challenges to travelers' preconceived beliefs; we will consider voyages as historical enterprises and also as material for the human imagination that live on in the work of artists and novelists.
Restriction(s):
