| adam_text | No previous generation has ever travelled so
energetically or so obsessively as ours, nor has
travel writing ever been so much in fashion as
it is now. But behind the self-conscious literary
artistry of today s narratives there lies a rich and
fascinating history of travel writing, stretching
back over several thousand years. Travel writing
has emerged from migration, war, exploration,
trade, conquest, pilgrimage, science and poetic
longing. But when they recorded their travels, the
military commanders of Greece and Rome, the
navigators of the Age of Discovery, the diplomats
and missionaries of the seventeenth century,
the dilettantes who set out on the Grand Tour,
the romantic travellers and the scientists of the
nineteenth century, all had one thing in common:
they were re-imagining the world, re-interpreting it
in their own minds and for their readers.
This is the first general survey of the entire history
of travel literature, with illustrations reproduced
from manuscripts and books in the Bodleian
Library s collections and other sources. Writers
covered include Marco Polo, Sir John Mandeville,
Thomas Coryate, Captain Cook,
Т.Е.
Lawrence and
Christopher Columbus as well as Boswell and
Johnson, Byron, Defoe, Conrad and James. This
book highlights over
150
texts, showing how one
motive for travelling has been succeeded by another,
and how travel writing has often inhabited a strange
borderland between truth and imagination, fact
and fiction. It shows how travel writers have slowly
outgrown their traditional stance of superiority
to all things foreign , and have moved towards a
deeper sensitivity to other lands and other cultures.
