Human encounters with the natural world are inseparable from the
history of travel. Nature, as fearsome obstacle, a wonder to behold
or a source of therapeutic refuge, is bound up with the story of
human mobility. Stories of this mobility give readers a sense of
the diversity of the natural world, how they might interpret and
respond to it and how human preoccupations are a help or a
hindrance in maintaining bio-cultural diversity. Travel writing has
constantly shaped how humans view the environment from foreign
adventures to flight-shaming. If much of modern travel writing has
been based on ready access to environmentally damaging forms of
transport how do travel writers deal with a practice that is
destroying the world they claim to cherish? This Element explores
human travel encounters with the environment over the centuries and
asks, what is the future for travel writing in the age of the
Anthropocene?
