| Popis: | The research has an objective to study the influence of images of mountains of South Siberia on the perception of Siberia by Thomas and Lucy Atkinson, the English travelers, in the middle of the 19th century with regard to an idea of orientalism of the texts of the travellers about Siberia and its images of terra incognita and a wild space. The work singles out an imagiologic dominant in the travelogues, published by the Atkinsons in London. The English travelling literature (ego-documents and imaginary literary works) and land-describing works about Siberia of the second half of the 19 th century have made up the contexts of the research. Lucy Atkinson’s London edition of 1863 is analyzed with the help of a gender approach to the history of the English cultural transfer. An idea of pioneering that corresponds with the desperate passion of the English for traveling is placed in the bases of how L. Atkinson’s letters are interpreted. Her journey is described in the spirit of adventurous literature, which forms her own image of a brave, enduring and reckless traveler. The letters reveal the dominance of a real English lady over women of the Siberian province and women of the indigenous population of the Altai mountainous area. |
