Focusing on the significance of travel in Joseph Conrad, E.M.
Forster, D.H. Lawrence, Henry James, and Edith Wharton, Robert
Burden shows how travel enabled a new consciousness of mobility and
borders during the modernist period. For these authors, Burden
suggests, travel becomes a narrative paradigm and dominant trope by
which they explore questions of identity and otherness related to
deep-seated concerns with the crisis of national cultural identity.
He pays particular attention to the important distinction between
travel and tourism, at the same time that he attends to the
slippage between seeing and sightseeing, between the local
character and the stereotype, between art and kitsch, and between
older and newer ways of storytelling in the representational crisis
of modernism. Burden argues that the greater awareness of cultural
difference that characterizes both the travel writing and fiction
of these expatriate writers became a defining feature of literary
modernism, resulting in a consciousness of cultural difference that
challenged the ethnographic project of empire.
