An increasingly popular genre - addressing issues of empire,
colonialism, post-colonialism, globalization, gender and politics -
travel writing offers the reader a movement between the familiar
and the unknown.
In this volume, Carl Thompson
- introduces the genre, outlining competing definitions and key
debates
- provides a broad historical survey from the medieval period to
the present day
- explores the autobiographical dimensions of the form
-
looks at both men and women's travel writing, surveying a range
of canonical and more marginal works, drawn from both the colonial
and postcolonial eras
-
utilises both British and American travelogues to consider the
genre's role in shaping the history of both nations.
Concise and practical, Travel Writing is the ideal introduction
for those new to the subject, as well as a crucial overview of
current debates in the field.
