This, the first part of a two volume collection of new essays from
international scholars, is concerned with examining the British
experience of travel, tourism, and imperialism. It considers the
British travelling beyond their isles over the last three hundred
years, and through a range of interdisciplinary perspectives
reflects on their taste for discovery and self-discovery both
through the exploration - and exploitation - of other lands and
peoples, and also through their encounters with other societies and
civilisations. The development into new forms of travel and tourism
challenged the perceptions the British had of the world - and the
world of the British. These journeys impacted on the representation
and formation of 'Britishness', and the construction of national
identity by defining a non-British world or a world becoming
'British'.
