Bringing together original contributions from scholars around the
world, this volume traces the history of travel writing from
antiquity to the Internet age. It examines travel texts of several
national or linguistic traditions, introducing readers to the
global contexts of the genre. From wilderness to the urban, from
Nigeria to the polar regions, from mountains to rivers and the
desert, this book explores some of the key places and physical
features represented in travel writing. Chapters also consider the
employment in travel writing of the diary, the letter, visual
images, maps and poetry, as well as the relationship of travel
writing to fiction, science, translation and tourism. Gender-based
and ecocritical approaches are among those surveyed. Together, the
thirty-seven chapters here underline the richness and complexity of
this genre.
