Ranging from the early modern to the postcolonial, and dealing
mainly with encounters in Europe, the Americas and the Middle East,
Perspectives on Travel Writing is a collection of new essays by
international scholars that examines some of the various contexts
of travel writing, as well as its generic characteristics.
Contributions examine the similarities between autobiography and
memoir, fiction, and travel writing, and attempt to define travel
writing as a genre. Utilising a variety of approaches, the essays
display a shared concern with what travel writing does and how it
does it. The effects of encounter and border-crossing on gender,
'race', and national identity are considered throughout. The
collection begins with a review of some of the problems and issues
facing the scholar of travel writing and moves on to a detailed
discussion of the qualities of travel writing and its related
forms. It then presents in chronological order a number of case
studies, before closing with a critical discussion of approaches to
the subject. An essay collection with broad historical and
geographical coverage, this volume should appeal to students and
researchers of travel and travel-related literatures from across
the Humanities.
