Over the past century, narratives of travel changed in response to
modernist and postmodernist literary innovation, world wars, the
demise of European empires, and the effect of new technologies and
media on travel experience. Yet existing critical studies have not
examined fully how the genre changes or theorized why. This study
investigates the evolution of Anglophone travel narrative from the
1920s to the present, addressing the work of canonical authors such
as T. E. Lawrence, W. H. Auden, and Rebecca West; best-sellers by
Peter Fleming and H. V. Morton; and texts by Colin Thubron, Andrew
X. Pham, Rosemary Mahoney, and others. It argues that the genre's
most important transformation lies in its reinvention as a means of
narrating the subjective experience of violence, cultural upheaval,
and decline. It will interest scholars and students of travel
writing, modernism and postmodernism, English and American
literature, and the history and sociology of travel.
