Łucja Rautenstrauchowa’s In and beyond the Alps: the Case of a Sentimental Italian Tour. (2013). Theatrum Historiae, 12, 115-141. https://theatrum.upce.cz/index.php/theatrum/article/view/1942
Abstract
The article presents Łucja Rautenstrauchowa’s 1847 In and Beyond the Alps as an example of the Italian tour, a 19th-century sub-genre of the travelogue. Łucja Rautenstrauchowa herself was a Polish aristocrat and a published writer of sentimental novels and travel books. In and Beyond the Alps features markedly sentimental content which is interesting as sentimentalism was already a thing of the past in mid-19th-century Western Europe.
