"Egyptens plåga och resandes olycka" : En komparativ studie av Linnéapostlarna Fredric Hasselquist och Peter Forsskåls reseskildringar / The torment of Egypt and the missfortune of the traveller : The torment of Egypt and the missfortune of the traveller - a comparative study on the travel writings of Petrus Forsskål and Fredric Hasselquist

In the 1700’s, natural history played an essential part in constructing the western view of the east and its inhabitants. Based on this assumtion, the primary aim of this study has been to examine how two of Carl Linaeus’ apostles (Petrus Forsskål and Fredric Hasselquist) wrote about their specific cultural encounters while travelling.   In its essence, the results of the study has been that Mary Louise Pratts  previous writings are applicable also on the travel writings of Forsskål och Hasselquist. Altough with a few significant deviations. For example it seems that the apostles considered the native history more relevant than what Pratts theory would give them credit for.
