Travel writing has gained new appeal for the general reader and for the student of Literary and Cultural Studies. This volume provides a concise introduction to the basic characteristics and historical development of travel writing as it has emerged in the British Isles from the Middle Ages to the present day. Examples considered include many classics, but also a range of lesser-known representatives. The final chapter on travelogues produced in former British colonies was newly written for this English version.
