This collection of essays is an important contribution to travel
writing studies -- looking beyond the explicitly political
questions of postcolonial and gender discourses, it considers the
form, poetics, institutions and reception of travel writing in the
history of empire and its aftermath. Starting from the premise that
travel writing studies has received much of its impetus and
theoretical input from the sometimes overgeneralized precepts of
postcolonial studies and gender studies, this collection aims to
explore more widely and more locally the expression of imperialist
discourse in travel writing, and also to locate within contemporary
travel writing attempts to evade or re-engage with the power
politics of such discourse. There is a double focus then to explore
further postcolonial theory in European travel writing (Anglophone,
Francophone and Hispanic), and to trace the emergence of
postcolonial forms of travel writing. The thread that draws the two
halves of the collection together is an interest in form and
relations between form and travel.
