Review
"Recommended for libraries needing a concise introduction of travel literature." - Choice
"A useful resource for the researcher and the armchair traveler ... Useful for students of literature, history, and cross-cultural studies, this work will likely find an appropriate home in academic and public library collections that support these parts of the curriculum. Some large public libraries, and those specializing in travel literature, should definitely consider this work." - American Reference Books Annual
"...compares favorably with similar reference sources ... it is thorough and detailed, yet accessible to the lay reader ... of special interest to subject specialists or historians; recommended for public and academic libraries." - Library Journal
"...an excellent choice for small and medium-sized libraries that need biographical information in this area at a moderate price." - Booklist
From the Publisher
Entries include:
Johann Ludwig Burckhardt, who died in 1817 on his return trip from Mecca and was buried still disguised as a Muslim
George Sand, who scandalized Europe by illegally wearing trousers and wrote a singularly interesting travel book
Lord Byron, who fictionalized his Grand Tour in Childe Harold's Pilgrimage
In making the selections, the author offers a judicious balance of travelogues, travel novels, travel poems, and adventure logs. Readily accessible, all works are drawn from the Western tradition and are widely available in modern English translations.
Features: A-to-Z entries, introduction, illustrations, index.
