In English Explorers in the East (1738-1745). The Travels of Thomas
Shaw, Charles Perry and Richard Pococke, Rachel Finnegan offers an
account of the influential travel writings of three rival
explorers, whose eastern travel books were printed within a decade
of each other. Making use of historical records, Finnegan examines
the personal and professional motives of the three authors for
producing their eastern travels; their methods of researching,
drafting, and publicising their works while still abroad; their
relationships with each other, both while travelling and on their
return to England; and the legacy of their combined works. She also
provides a survey of the main features (both textual and visual) of
the travel books themselves.
