Abstract

In 1816 Joseph Blanco White visited the Trossachs, having travelled to Edinburgh as a member of the household of Lord and Lady Holland. Soon afterwards he wrote A Journey to the Trosacks in 1816, a short but fascinating account of his trip which has remained unpublished until now. Lucidly penned, this autograph text shows admiration for the Scottish wilderness and interest in technological feats such as the steamboat that he takes on the Firth of Forth, an absolute novelty at the time. Observations on Highlands customs and language, and literary allusions to Sterne, Scott, Johnson and Boswell add to the interest of this forgotten piece, as do remarks about John Murray the publisher and Dugald Stewart the philosopher. The aim of this article is to present for the first time this work as a document of literary and cultural importance, given the renewed interest of Romantic era scholarship in travel writing and in Blanco White, the most important Spanish cultural mediator in Britain during the first decades of the 19th century.

被遗忘的“浪漫”之旅:约瑟夫·布兰科·怀特1816年的特洛伊之旅
1816年,约瑟夫·布兰科·怀特(Joseph Blanco White)作为荷兰勋爵和夫人的家庭成员前往爱丁堡,访问了特罗萨克人。不久之后,他在1816年写下了《特罗萨克之旅》,这是一本关于他的旅行的简短而迷人的书,直到现在才出版。这封亲笔签名的文字笔锋清晰,表达了他对苏格兰荒野的钦佩和对科技壮举的兴趣,比如他在福斯湾乘坐的汽船,这在当时绝对是件新鲜事。对高地习俗和语言的观察,以及对斯特恩、斯科特、约翰逊和博斯韦尔的文学典故,以及对出版商约翰·默里和哲学家杜格尔德·斯图尔特的评论,都增加了这本被遗忘的作品的兴趣。这篇文章的目的是第一次将这部作品作为文学和文化重要性的文献来呈现,考虑到浪漫主义时代学者对旅行写作和布兰科·怀特(19世纪头几十年英国最重要的西班牙文化调解人)重新产生的兴趣。
