Product description
Author: Roman Krzywy
In the 16th and 17th centuries, the ability to construct statements was acquired thanks to rhetorical education and memory training, personified in Greek mythology by the mother of the Muses, Mnemosyne. Roman Krzywy discovers the wealth of rhetorical strategies used by contemporary travellers to describe various types of spaces, natural places and objects. Various literary accounts from the era – mainly travel memories, but also stories about other people's journeys – are presented against the background of the aesthetics dominant at a given time and in a broader social context.
