A collection of work that attempts to reflect the diversity of travel literature from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This literature often reveals something of the cultural and gender difference of the travellers, as well as ideas on colonialism, anthropology and slavery.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
'exquisitely produced and impeccably edited collection offers a wealth of fresh material to scholars of Romanticism' The Wordsworth Circle 'does not pretend to be anything that it is not, and it delivers what it promises. Its extracts evoke the rawness of discovery in an age when vast portions of the atlas were blank and when large portions of the world's population lived in ignorance of each other.'
