Reviews
"Todd Kontje's book is both an excellent starting point and a significant addition to existing scholarship. The image of Forster that emerges is further removed from modern progressive values, but no less fascinating and important." --Morgan Golf-French, History of European Ideas, "Kontje's superb and highly readable study is an achievement that will not be soon repeated." --Kirk Wetters Seminar: A Journal of Germanic Studies, " Georg Forster is a well-conceived and important book that comes at a moment of unresolved tension around questions of nationalism and cosmopolitanism, globalization and imperialism, individual identity and group identity, and populism and democracy--questions that were central to Forster's life and his writings. Written by one of the foremost scholars in German literary approaches to other cultures, it will make an important contribution to the scholarship on Enlightenment travel, thought, and writing." --John Noyes,author of Herder: Aesthetics Against Imperialism, "Todd Kontje's book is both an excellent starting point and a significant addition to existing scholarship. The image of Forster that emerges is further removed from modern progressive values, but no less fascinating and important." -Morgan Golf-French, History of European Ideas "A worthy contribution to the scholarship on Forster." -R. Bledsoe, Choice "Georg Forster is a well-conceived and important book that comes at a moment of unresolved tension around questions of nationalism and cosmopolitanism, globalization and imperialism, individual identity and group identity, and populism and democracy-questions that were central to Forster's life and his writings. Written by one of the foremost scholars in German literary approaches to other cultures, it will make an important contribution to the scholarship on Enlightenment travel, thought, and writing." -John Noyes, author of Herder: Aesthetics Against Imperialism, "Todd Kontje's book is both an excellent starting point and a significant addition to existing scholarship. The image of Forster that emerges is further removed from modern progressive values, but no less fascinating and important." --Morgan Golf-French History of European Ideas, " Georg Forster is a well-conceived and important book that comes at a moment of unresolved tension around questions of nationalism and cosmopolitanism, globalization and imperialism, individual identity and group identity, and populism and democracy--questions that were central to Forster's life and his writings. Written by one of the foremost scholars in German literary approaches to other cultures, it will make an important contribution to the scholarship on Enlightenment travel, thought, and writing." --John Noyes, author of Herder: Aesthetics Against Imperialism, "This book is daring, somewhat provocative yet brilliant. It is an elegant volume, well done and with a helpful index. Above all, this is a major contribution to current scholarly debates on race, travel literature, science, and political and philosophical discourses surrounding the French Revolution and the Mainz Republic." --Beate Allert German Quarterly, "Grounding his research in prominent scholarship on Georg Forster, and highlighting moments of a perineal traveler's contact with an increasingly globalized world, Todd Kontje offers us an inspiring voyage through the late eighteenth-century world of letters and politics with his new book." --Sally Hatch Gray Lessing Yearbook/Jahrbuch, "Kontje's elegantly and accessibly written monograph gathers a host of key debates and concepts to situate Forster in his specific historical context." --Friederike von Schwerin-High The European Legacy
