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>
