metadata.value: This paper reviews the title complexes of the title pages in German travel literature of the 18th and 19th
  century from the viewpoint of paratextuality theory by G. Genette and theory of the strong position by
  I. V. Arnold. Structural dynamics of the title development is most apparent in its steady size reduction.
  Extremely complicated titles are typical for the first half of the 18th century. They look like annotated
  content of the whole book rather than its laconic title (up to 20 title lines or up to 100 words and more).
  By the end of the 19th century the title complex included only the name of an author (or a publisher)
  and the actual short title with a toponym denoting the place of the destination. The title declaration
  has an increasingly differentiated character, forming reader’s specific expectations even before reading
  the book. Along with the traditional Reise / Reisebeschreibung (travel / travel description), the new
  genre/forms are seen: Beyträge (papers), Bericht (report), Briefe (letters), Darstellungen (descriptions),
  Erinnerungen (memoirs), Gemälde (pictures) and Nachrichten (news). Certainly, informative function
  of the title dominates in travel literature, but the occurrence of other functions can also be observed.
  Thus, attractive function emerges in the 18th century, it manifests in drawing readership’s attention by
  the promising title. Expressive-appellative function is brought to light in the 19th century and often is
  conveyed by an epigraph revealing the author’s position and psychologically preparing the reader for
  the content. Both the author and the publisher may be the creators of a title. Refs 19.
