Between reality and fiction in the travel account of Maria Wirtemberska Some events, thoughts and feelings experienced abroad

Beata Kurządkowska

Abstract

After her travel, which took place between 22nd July 1816 and June 1818, Maria Wirtemberska wrote an account entitled Some events, thoughts and feelings expreienced abroad. This work is a combination which was quite unusual for those times, namely a combination of conventions: a typical documentary travel account and literary fiction. The presented paper is an attempt at examining the proportions in which these two conventions are combined. The article also tries to find the reason why Maria Wirtemberska - who wrote at the beginning of the 19th century - shaped her work, its composition and content in this particular way.

Keywords:
