Destinations shifted: Hamburg, for instance, became a new gateway for British writers to reach the European Continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Journeying styles had already changed: Jean-Jacques Rousseau\u2019s radical pedestrianism and Laurence Sterne\u2019s \u2018sentimental\u2019 travel had left their mark. Travel accounts increasingly featured \u2018the North\u2019, especially Germany and the Scandinavian countries. Among the many motivations for this interest were a spirit of aesthetic primitivism as well as inquisitiveness about philosophical and other intellectual developments in Germany. In the process, travel writers and others debated questions of national character, cosmopolitanism, nationalism, and the connections of commercial society with empire and slavery. Energized by translations, the book trade flourished across borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The workshop investigates some of these controversies and themes. <a href=\"https:\/\/hias-hamburg.de\/en\/fellow\/james-vigus\/\">James Vigus<\/a> is currently undertaking the research project <em>Romantic Hamburg<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Participants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Annika B\u00e4rwald<\/strong>, Doctoral Candidate, Early Modern History, Bremen University<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ute Berns<\/strong>, Professor for British Studies, Universit\u00e4t Hamburg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Emma Clery<\/strong>, Professor in English Literature, Uppsala University<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cian Duffy<\/strong>, Professor in English Literature, Lund University<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lis M\u00f8ller<\/strong>, Professor of Comparative Literature, Aarhus University<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Robert Rix<\/strong>, Associate Professor in English, Germanic and Romance Studies, University of Copenhagen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>James Vigus<\/strong>, Senior Lecturer in English at Queen Mary University of London and Universit\u00e4t Hamburg Fellow 2021\/2022 at HIAS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maximiliaan van Woudenberg<\/strong>, Professor of English and Communications in the Faculty of Humanities at Sheridan Institute of Technology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Program<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9.25 a.m. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
