Synopsis:
"Provides insight into why history's travellers have responded in such different ways to new people and cultures."--The Good Book Guide
Attempting to sketch a cultural history of travel from the 16th century to the present day, these interdisciplinary essays address the theme of travel as an historical, literary and imaginative process, focusing on significant episodes and encounters in world history. The contributors include historians of art and science, anthropologists, literary critics and mainstream cultural historians. Their essays encompass topics such as the explorations of South America, India and Mexico; Cook's voyages in the South Seas; mountaineering in the Himalayas; space travel; science fiction; and American post-war travel fiction.
