"Oxford Literary Resources" is a series designed to meet the wider reading needs of 14-16-year-olds studying for GCSE English. Each title in the series focuses on a single genre. This particular volume, examining travel literature, takes students to a wide range of destinations through the eyes of great travellers, explorers and tourists. Autobiographical accounts of the journeys of Isabella Bird, Jonathan Raban and Christina Dodwell are presented alongside poetry, journalistic articles and fiction. Students are encouraged to examine the many styles in which these writers describe their experiences, and to think about the benefits of travel. An activities section at the back of the book provides ideas for discussion and a range of written outcomes for each piece, in line with National Curriculum Attainment Targets at Key Stage 4. There are also suggestions for coursework and further reading.
