The focus of this volume is the intersection and the
cross-fertilization between the travel narrative, literary
discourse, and the New Philosophy in the early modern to early
eighteenth-century historical periods. Contributors examine how, in
an historical era which realized an emphasis on nation and during a
time when exploration was laying the foundation for empire, science
and the literary discourse of the travel narrative become
intrinsically linked. Together, the essays in this collection point
out the way in which travel narratives reflect the anxiety from
changes brought about through the discoveries of the 'new
knowledge' and the way this knowledge in turn provided a new and
more complex understanding of the expanding world in which the
writers lived. The worlds in this text are many (for no 'world' is
monomial), from the antipodes to the New World, from the heavens to
the seas, and from fictional worlds to the world which contains
and/or constructs one's nation and empire. All of these essays
demonstrate the manner in which the New Philosophy dramatically
changed literary discourse.
