Description: "Providing a trans-European interdisciplinary approach, the collection focuses on three particular aspects of travel and borders: change, status and function. By using these three concepts as measures by which to explore a variety of subjects, Borders and Travellers in Early Modern Europe provides a new perspective from which to reassess the way in which early modern Europeans viewed themselves, their neighbours and the wider world in which they were increasingly interacting."--Jacket.
