The Art of Wandering is a history of that curious hybrid, the
writer as walker. From the Ancient world to the modern day, the
role of the walker continues to evolve, from philosopher and
pilgrim, vagrant and visionary, to experimentalist and radical.
From Rousseau and De Quincey to Virginia Woolf and Werner Herzog,
this seemingly innocuous activity has inspired a literary tradition
encompassing philosophy and poetry, the novel and the manifesto.
Today, this figure has returned to the forefront of the public
imagination, as writers and walkers follow in the footsteps of
earlier generations. For the walker is once again on the march,
seeking out new territory and recording new impressions of the
landscape. Newly revised and updated, The Art of Wandering explores
these adventures on foot. Every walk can be expressed as a story
narrated by the walker; it is these stories and the lives of those
who walked them which are examined here.
