Abstract

Navibus velivolis magnum mare saepe cucurri' -- "auf segelbeflügelten Schiffen habe ich oft das gro�e Meer befahren"-- so lautet eine kaiserzeitliche Inschrift aus Brundisium. In der Antike war die Seefahrt eine vergleichsweise bequeme, schnelle und preiswerte Art der Fortbewegung, die sich insbesondere dazu eignete, weite geographische Räume zu erschlie�en. Dementsprechend reich ist die Überlieferung an antiken Texten, die sich in den unterschiedlichsten Zusammenhängen mit Reisen zu Schiff befassen. Der Sammelband widmet sich diesen Texten in althistorischen und altphilologischen Herangehensweisen und stellt dabei das Erlebnis der Seereise als kulturelles Phänomen in den Mittelpunkt. Der zeitliche Bogen reicht von Texten aus dem 1. Jahrhundert v.Chr. bis hin zu Darstellungen aus der späten Kaiserzeit. Methodisch wird eine doppelte Zielsetzung verfolgt: Zum einen analysieren die 18 Beiträge die Erlebnishorizonte der antiken Reisenden, zum anderen untersuchen sie die Art und Weise der literarischen Darstellung von Seereisen und fragen nach der Funktion der textuellen Gestaltung.

Abstract

From Daniel Defoe to Joseph Conrad, from Virginia Woolf to Derek Walcott, the sea has always been an inspiring setting and a powerful symbol for generations of British and Anglophone writers. Seaing through the Past is the first study to explicitly address the enduring relevance of the maritime metaphor in contemporary Anglophone fiction through in-depth readings of fourteen influential and acclaimed novels published in the course of the last three decades. The book trenchantly argues that in contemporary fiction, maritime imagery gives expression to postmodernism’s troubled relationship with historical knowledge, as theorised by Hayden White, Linda Hutcheon, and others. The texts in question are interpreted against the backdrop of four aspects of metahistorical problematisation. Thus, among others, Iris Murdoch’s The Sea, the Sea (1978) is read in the context of auto/biographical writing, John Banville’s The Sea (2005) as a narrative of personal trauma, Julian Barnes’s A History of the World in 10½ Chapters (1989) as investigating the connection between discourses of origin and the politics of power, and Fred D’Aguiar’s Feeding the Ghosts (1997) as opening up a postcolonial perspective on the sea and history. Persuasive and topical, Seaing through the Past offers a compelling guide to the literary oceans of today.

Abstract

Local and imperial, insular and expansive, both English yet British: geographically and culturally, the sea continues to shape changing models of Englishness. This volume traces the many literary origins of insular identity from local communities to the entire archipelago, laying open the continuities and disruptions in the sea's relationship with English identity in a British context. Ranging from the beginnings of insular literature to Victorian medievalisms, the subjects treated include King Arthur's struggle with muddy banks, the afterlife of Edgar's forged charters, Old English homilies and narratives of migration, Welsh and English ideas about Chester, Anglo-Norman views of the sea in the Vie de St Edmund and Waldef, post-Conquest cartography, The Book of Margery Kempe, the works of the Irish Stopford Brooke, and the making of an Anglo-British identity in Victorian Britain.
