metadata.value: Pilgrimage Studies is a growing field of research; however, Protestant pilgrims in
  the 19th century have so far received little attention. Fredrika Bremer (1801–1865),
  world-famous Swedish author at the time, published an account of her five months in
  the Holy Land in 1859, in the travel book Life in the Old World (1860–1862), covering
  Switzerland, Italy, Turkey and Greece apart from Palestine. Throughout the narrative of
  the Biblical lands, Bremer discusses the significance of pilgrimage in relation to pilgrims
  of other Christian denominations. As a Protestant, she needs to ask herself in what
  way the physical place, the materiality of the holy sites, carries a meaning. In applying
  Charles Lock’s concept “the Protestant optic”, the analysis shows that Bremer concur
  with British and American Protestant pilgrims of her time in preferring landscapes
  to monuments and in complaining about the emotional expressions of devotion by
  Catholic and Orthodox pilgrims. Nevertheless, she also diverges from their standing on
  devotional practices. Her own critical method of making sense of holy sites results in
  what I call “allegorical geography”: she understands the inner meaning of the Gospel to
  be inscribed into the topography. Ultimately, in Bremer’s travel account, the pilgrimage
  is motivated, I suggest, by the aesthetic impression of the landscape, the sensuous
  perception that gives evidence to the truth of the Bible.
