The Routledge Research Companion to Travel Writing by Alasdair Pettinger

The Routledge Research Companion to Travel Writing by Alasdair Pettinger

Showcasing established and new patterns of research, The Routledge Research Companion to Travel Writing takes an interdisciplinary approach to scholarship and to travel texts themselves, offering a comprehensive and authoritative reflection of the state of travel writing criticism.

"The editors of the The Routledge Research Companion to Travel Writing, Alasdair Pettinger and Tim Youngs, are leading experts in the field of travel writing… Each individual contribution is persuasively argued and demonstrates its arguments and findings with examples of representative primary textsThe diversity of the travel narratives analyzed in the volume exemplifies the heterogeneity and richness of the genre. This makes for a compelling read for those who are new to the field as well as for those who are acquainted with the study of travel writing."

- Isabel Kalous, International Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture (Giessen)
