E. W. Godwin’s Month in Normandy: Travel Writing as Intertext by Richard W. Hayes

“…In Godwin’s case, his articles participated in a discursive field formed not only by Ruskin’s The Seven Lamps of Architecture but also by the accounts of Norman architecture published by the eminent French medievalist Eugène Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc (1814‒79) and restoration architect Aymar Pierre Verdier (1819‒80), in addition to the drawings by Godwin’s British colleagues Eden Nesfield (1835‒88) and William Burges (1827‒81), all of whom Godwin mentions. Kristeva’s concept of intertextuality will help clarify the extent to which Godwin’s travel narrative can be understood primarily as a contribution to this network of commentary. …”
