Alexander von Humboldt explored the Spanish Empire on the verge of
its collapse (1799-1804). He is the most significant German travel
writer and the most important mediator between Europe and the
Americas of the nineteenth century. His works integrated knowledge
from two dozen domains. Today, he is at the center of debates on
imperial discourse, postcolonialism, and globalization. This
collection of fifty essays brings together a range of responses,
many presented here for the first time in English. Authors from
Schiller, Chateaubriand, Sarmiento, and Nietzsche, to Robert Musil,
Kurt Tucholsky, Ernst Bloch, and Alejo Carpentier paint the
historical background. Essays by contemporary travel writers and
recent critics outline the current controversies on Humboldt. The
source materials collected here will be indispensable to scholars
of German, French, and Latin and North American literature as well
as cultural and postcolonial studies, history, art history, and the
history of science.
