Europa? Das sei eine Erfindung der Dichter, sagt Heinrich Mann und verweist damit auf eine Verbindung, die seit Jahrhunderten Bestand hat: diejenige zwischen der europäischen Literatur und Europa als ihrem Thema. Imperium, Zivilisation, Vereinigte Staaten, Ordnungsmacht oder Friedensprojekt - in literarischen Texten werden die unterschiedlichsten Vorstellungen von Europa formuliert und diskutiert. Ausgehend von einer komparatistischen Untersuchung der Werke von neun Schriftstellern versucht die Studie eine Antwort auf die Frage nach der Beziehung zwischen dem Medium Literatur und dem Thema Europa. Sie setzt dazu verschiedene Entwürfe aus der deutschen, spanischen, französischen und katalanischen Literatur des 19. und 20. Jahrhunderts miteinander in Verbindung und analysiert Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede, Kontinuitäten und Brüche, Parallelen und Divergenzen. Auf diese Weise zeigt sie die Konstruktionsprinzipien eines literarischen Europas auf, das sich auch dadurch auszeichnet, dass in den Versuchen einer literarischen Festschreibung des Kontinents die unterschiedlichsten Diskurse miteinander in Verbindung gesetzt werden können. So zeigt sich, dass das Wissen der europäischen Literatur von Europa immer auch ein Wissen der Literatur von sich selbst und von ihren eigenen Bedingungen und Prämissen ist.

Africa Writing Europe offers critical readings of the meaning and presence of Europe in a variety of African literary texts. The first of its kind, it shifts the focus from questions of African identity to readings which delineate ideas of Europe also in texts written specifically in an African context. It seeks to place the representations of Europe in an historical context by including a number of different and often conflicting definitions of the Africa–Europe opposition, definitions that are traced to differences between the specific geographical and cultural locations both in the African and in the European context, including an Eastern European perspective as well as the metropolitan centres of Britain and France. The readings engage with the legacy of white domination manifested as slavery, colonialism, and apartheid as well as with the entangled histories and new perspectives developed through exile, both as voluntary and as forced migration. Several essays address the gendered dimension of the Africa–Europe opposition and relate it to other intersecting oppositions, such as the rural and the urban, the private and the public, in their analysis of representations of femininity and masculinity in the literary texts. The contributors to this volume come from different national backgrounds and share in examining the question of Europe in African literature. Authors discussed include Leila Aboulela, Tatamkhulu Afrika, Alice Solomon Bowen, Ken Bugul, Marie Cardinal, Eric Ngalle Charles, Yvette Christiansë, Soleïman Adel Guémar, Abdulrazak Gurnah, Dan Jacobson, Njabulo Ndebele, Femi Osofisan, Rebekah F., and Tayeb Salih.

James Buzard demonstrates the ways in which the distinction between tourist and traveller has developed and how the circulation of the two terms influenced how 19th and 20th century writers on Europe viewed themselves and presented themselves in writing.
