As many places around the world confront issues of globalization,
migration and postcoloniality, travel writing has become a serious
genre of study, reflecting some of the greatest concerns of our
time. Encompassing forms as diverse as field journals,
investigative reports, guidebooks, memoirs, comic sketches and
lyrical reveries, travel writing is now a crucial focus for
discussion across many subjects within the humanities and social
sciences. An ideal starting point for beginners, but also offering
new perspectives for those familiar with the field, The Routledge
Companion to Travel Writing examines: * Key debates within the
field, including postcolonial studies, gender, sexuality and visual
culture * Historical and cultural contexts, tracing the evolution
of travel writing across time and over cultures * Different styles,
modes and themes of travel writing, from pilgrimage to tourism *
Imagined geographies, and the relationship between travel writing
and the social, ideological and occasionally fictional constructs
through which we view the different regions of the world. Covering
all of the major topics and debates, this is an essential overview
of the field, which will also encourage new and exciting directions
for study.
