Abstract

When crossing the confines of the nineteenth century Romanian Principalities, the Western travellers discovered a space full of contrasts, situated at the cross-roads of civilizations. This article offers some insight into the way British travellers depicted their entry into these territories. The analysis takes into account not only the physical boundaries, but also the mental ones, embedded in the travellers’ accounts as regards some border city landscapes (Kronstadt, Galati, Focsani, Vulcan, Mehadia) and their general perception of the Romanian Principalities as frontier lands.
