Travel writing
Carl Thompson (Auteur)
In this volume , Carl Thompson: introduces the genre, outlining competing definitions and key debates; provides a broad historical survey from the medieval period to present day; explores the autobiographical dimensions of the form; looks at canonical and more marginal works, including writing by both men and women, and both colonial and postcolonial texts; and uses both British and American travelogues to consider the genre's role in shaping the history of nation. 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--Back cover
