While there is increasing anxiety about the natural world and many are calling for
action on the environment, academic discourse on the subject has been dominated
by romantic ideas of wilderness, new primitivisms, and philosophical approaches to
the concept of nature.This book explores the heyday of travel writing about the natural
world between
1768
and
1840.
The starting point is the parallel occurrence of Cook s
Pacific voyages, natural history, scenic tourism and romantic travel. The lasting effect
of these practices has been to turn nature into a detached and abstract space and
travel writing has had a central role in this process.
Unifying a wide field of enquiry, this book argues that both scientific and aesthetic
forms of travel writing share a common interest in instilling order and structure in the
natural world: Even where political imperatives are not explicit, a tendency towards
imperial order is found; empire is writ large and small. As little resistance to the idea
of order is found, we can conclude that, through nature, travel writing in the eighteenth
century was generally supportive of empire, trade and the landowning class.
