Travel Writing: The New Critical Idiom

An increasingly popular genre - addressing issues of empire, colonialism, post-colonialism, globalization, gender and politics - travel writing offers the reader a movement between the familiar and the unknown.

In this volume, Carl Thompson

• introduces the genre, outlining competing definitions and key debates
•  provides a broad historical survey from the medieval period to the present day
• explores the autobiographical dimensions of the form
• looks both at canonical and more marginal works in women’s writing, and in colonial and postcolonial texts
• utilises both British and American travelogues to consider the genre's role in shaping the history of both nations.

Concise and practical, Travel Writing is the ideal introduction for those new to the subject, as well as a crucial overview of current debates in the field.
