Romania Revisited: On the Trail of English Travellers, 1602-1941

Rating:
Summary: Highly recommended contribution to Romanian studies.
Review: Romania Revisited is the definitive story of journeys made by English travelers to Romania between 1602 and 1941. Alan Ogden interweaves impressions of previous generations of travelers into the witty account of his own explorations made in the summer and winter of 1998. Romania Revisited offers a comprehensive and perspicacious review of today's Romania as it focuses on the heritage and art of the country, as well as Ogden's own novel experiences while en route. Illustrated with Ogden's photography and helpful maps, Romania Revisited presents a valuable, highly recommended contribution to the study of the perception of Romania by English outsiders down through the centuries, and at the same time does valued, much appreciated service for visitors to Romania today.
