Andersen’s bazaar of recollections remarkably captures the changing realities of Europe. His narrative is full of the lights, colors, sounds, and odors inspired by his Orientalizing stance and the memories of sweet Denmark. But it is equally full of references to how much the region was transformed by technological innovations. Further changes would soon follow, as Austrians continued to engineer the river and its banks. The Danube river came to serve as the primary infrastructure for the integration of these territories into the global market, a development that hinged on the security and predictability of the sort of steamers that carried Andersen and countless other passengers along the Danube.

Safely Cruising through Insecurity in the Early 1840s - ERC Securing Europe, Fighting its enemies, 1815-1914 In 1841, Hans Christian Andersen’s cruised along the Lower Danube. This blog charts how he perceived overlapping layers of insecurity while travelling along the border of the Ottoman, Austrian and Russian empires.
