Research Interests
German and Spanish literary relations in the 19th Century; Intercultural relations in the nineteenth century (Germany/Spain/France/Great Britain); Travel Writing; Translation; Literary scholars and the European canon
Current Projects
I am currently working on two projects:
- The Lost Literati: this is an exploration of the role, motivation and impact of literary scholars in nineteenth-century Europe, many of whom are now forgotten but without whom the transfer of ideas across Europe and the creation of the European literary canon would not have been possible. This will result in a major monograph focussing on key international literary networks.
- The Reception of German Romanticism in Latin America: this involves mapping the reception of key German Romantic writers and thinkers in nineteenth-century Latin America forms part of the work being undertaken by the Research Network Crossing Borders: World Literatures as Contemporary Romanticism.
Recent projects
I was the PI on two inter-related projects, both funded by the AHRC.
I was the principle investigator on the AHRC-funded project European Travellers to Wales (1750-2010). Full details can be found on our website:
This three year research project investigated the texts of European travellers to Wales in the period 1750-2010. It was a collaboration between myself, Dr Heather Williams from the University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies in Aberystwyth and Dr Kathryn Jones from Swansea University. We also had a research assistant based in Aberystwyth, Dr Rita Singer, and two PhD students, Anna-Lou Dijkstra and Christina Les.
There are many reasons why Wales has been overlooked in the field of travel writing. Often accounts of travel to Wales are 鈥榟idden鈥 in writing about England, and even when travellers and critics have been interested in the Celtic nations, Wales has been neglected in favour of Scotland and Ireland. Building on the existing scholarship concerning English travellers, this project redefined perceptions of Wales by broadening the gaze of travel writing to encompass European travellers and their observations.
The project had the following outcomes: an international conference 鈥"Minority" Cultures and Travel鈥 , September 14-16聽2015 at the National Library of Wales, Aberystwyth; a digital database of sources on travellers to Wales; a museum exhibition at Ceredigion Museum, Aberystwyth, Summer 2015, travelling to other locations in Wales, 2015; a special issue on Wales of the academic journal聽Studies in Travel Writing, Spring 2014; and a co-authored interdisciplinary book, Hidden Texts, Hidden nation: (Re)Discoveries of Wales in the French and German Travel Writing (Liverpool UP, 2020).
The second project, Travellers to Wales, was funded through the AHRC's Follow-on funding for Impact and Engagement call. This saw the creation of a website for modern-day tourists to Wales, footsteps.bangor.ac.uk, making use of the wealth of material discovered during the main ETW project. It was a collaboration between Bangor (Tully, Singer), CAWCS (Williams), the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historic Monuments of Wales and Visit Wales. The website was launched by the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Sport in May 2018.

Description
'European Travellers to Wales 1750-2010' is a three-year AHRC-funded project that began in 2013, and is a collaboration between Professor Carol Tully of 麻豆传媒高清版, Dr Kathryn Jones from Swansea University and Dr Heather Williams from the University of Wales Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies (CAWCS). It is led by 麻豆传媒高清版.
The project has uncovered a vast number of travel accounts to Wales in this period, the majority of which are written in French or German. Many of the accounts that are listed in the database were 鈥榟idden鈥 in writing about tours in England. 鈥楨uropean Travellers鈥 investigated an array of sources including travelogues, guidebooks, diaries, letters and blogs, in both manuscript and printed form. The researchers discovered a broad variety of reasons for European travellers to have come to Wales: from those seeking a romantic idyll, to industrial spies in the Victorian era and refugees from Nazi Germany. This helps us understand Wales better: stories of refugees and exiles have emerged, and a store of detailed descriptions of Welsh landscapes, buildings and ruins has emerged. These are completely new resources for studying Wales, and broaden travel writing to encompass more than English-language portrayals of Wales.

Description
Why do people travel to foreign countries? What places do they visit? How do travellers arrive at their destination? What do they tell people at home about their adventures on the road? And why do they come to Wales? This exhibition looks at Wales through the eyes of explorers, tourists, refugees, and even spies from continental Europe.
