Abstract

This project intends to deal with three contemporary travel experiences that use the pilgrimage or spiritual journey format, carried out by Flora Tristan (1803-1844), Isabelle Eberhardt (1877-1904) and Carmen de Burgos (1867-1932), known as Columbine. Although religious pilgrimage is a common form of travel to this day, as a genre of travel literature it was not so frequent from the 19th century onwards. However, these three travelers, between the 19th and early 20th centuries, use the genre of pilgrimage to narrate their travels to Peru (Tristan), Algeria (Eberhardt) and northern Europe, central Europe, England and Portugal (de Burgos). This project intends to deal with the way these three authors use the initiatory character of the pilgrimage to elaborate and justify their "marginal" and transfuge position. (AU)
