Routledge Research Companion to Travel Writing

<p>Showcasing established and new patterns of research, <i>The Routledge Research Companion to Travel Writing </i>takes an interdisciplinary approach to scholarship and to travel texts themselves. The volume adopts a thematic approach, with each contributor considering a specific aspect of travel writing – a recurrent motif, an organising principle or a literary form. All of the essays include a discussion of representative travel texts, to ensure that the volume as a whole represents a broad historical and geographical range of travel writing. Together, the 25 essays and the editors’ introduction offer a comprehensive and authoritative reflection of the state of travel writing criticism and lay the ground for future developments.</p> <p>List of Figures</p><p></p><p>Notes on Contributors</p><p></p><p>Introduction / Alasdair Pettinger and Tim Youngs</p><p></p><p>Part One: Framing Travel</p><p></p><ol> <br><br><p></p> <li>The Scientific Traveller / Angela Byrne</li> <br><br> <br><br><p></p> <li>Nature Writing / Paul Smethurst</li> <br><br> <br><br><p></p> <li>Migrant Narratives / Aedín Ní Loingsigh</li> <br><br> <br><br><p></p> <li>The Expatriate Life / Lynn Mastellotto</li> <br><br> <br><br><p></p> <li>Travelling in Pairs / Kathryn N.
