This volume includes the travel logs of Anna and George Ticknor
from two journeys to the German Confederation from 1815 to 1817 and
from 1835 to 1836. As members of an exclusive social class, the
Ticknors enjoyed the privilege of traveling and living for an
extended period in the German-speaking world, which conferred
much-sought-after cultural and social distinction on them in
Boston. A valuable primary source for American and German
historians alike, these journals offer insight into the
construction of American identities, as well as outside
perspectives on German society, culture, and politics in the Age of
Goethe. Simultaneously and independently composed by this husband
and wife, these journals are the only known case of parallel male
and female travel writing, thus affording a unique opportunity to
explore gender as a factor in shaping their perceptions. A
biographical glossary and extensive explanatory footnotes make this
text accessible to a wide audience.
