The bibliography volume of the three-volume "East Looks West: East
European Travel Writing in Europe" collates travel writing
published in book form by east Europeans travelling in Europe from
ca. 1550 to 2000. It is intended as a fundamental research tool,
collecting together travel writings within each national/linguistic
tradition, and enabling comparative analysis of such material. It
fills an important gap in the existing reference literature, both
in western and east European languages, and will be of use to those
working in the growing fields of comparative travel writing,
regional and national identities, and postcolonialism.These texts
exist in surprisingly large numbers, and include writings of high
literary quality as well as of historical interest, but they have
been relatively little studied as a genre. Much of this material is
rare and difficult to find, even in national libraries. As a
result, there are few bibliographical surveys of the literature of
east European travel and self-representation, and none that are
region-wide or comparative in scope. This is the third volume of a
three-part set of "East Looks West", Vol. 1 - "An Anthology of East
European Travel Writing on Europe"; and Vol. 2 - "A Comparative
Introduction to East European Travel Writing on Europe".
