'Travellers to the Middle East from Burkhardt to Thesiger' is a
compendious anthology of travellers' writings produced during the
high tide of Britain's involvement in the Middle East. The
anthology contains extracts from many of the canonical travel texts
of the period, including passages by T. E. Lawrence, Gertrude Bell
and Robert Byron, as well as many more extracts from both female
and male writers. The anthology is also enlivened by the broad
geographical span covered, including descriptions of territories in
the Ottoman Empire, Egypt, Arabia and Persia.
Geoffrey Nash's introduction, notes and background material
provide specialist historical analysis and biographical information
informed by critical and theoretical perspectives relevant to the
genre of travel writing. This anthology will satisfy the growing
interest in the study of travel writing, in addition to offering
the general reader valuable insights into British perceptions of
the Middle East.
