The books that we read, whether travel-focused or not, may
influence the way in which we understand the process or experience
of travel. This multidisciplinary work provides a critical analysis
of the inspirational and transformational role that books play in
travel imaginings. Does reading a book encourage us to think of
travel as exotic, adventurous, transformative, dangerous or
educative? Do different genres of books influence a reader's view
of travel in multifarious ways? These questions are explored
through a literary analysis of an eclectic selection of books
spanning the period from the eighteenth century to the present day.
Genres covered include historical fiction, children's books,
westerns, science-fiction and crime fiction.
