The City of Alba Iulia as Reflected in the Second Half of the 18th and the 19th Century British Travel Accounts
The City of Alba Iulia as Reflected in the Second Half of the 18th and the 19th Century British Travel Accounts

Summary/Abstract: The study analyses the texts of British travellers who visited the city of Alba Iulia, in the late 18th and in the 19th Centuries. The main coordinate of this research is the representation of the Other and other spaces as a complex, open, multi-referential system, which “does not allow antinomic difference, but the co-presence specific to the border or in-between peripheral space.” Starting from this methodological hypothesis the structure of this study overlaps on issues approached by the British relations in the second half of the 18th and 19th Centuries: the geographical environment, local history, the appearance of the city, architecture, local personalities, and economic life.
