Long popular with a general readership, travel writing has, in the past three decades or so, become firmly established as an object of serious and multi-disciplinary academic inquiry. Few of the scholarly and popular publications that have focused on the nineteenth century have regarded the century as a whole. This broad volume examines the cultural and social aspects of travel writing on Africa, Asia, America, the Balkans and Australasia.
Tim Youngs is Professor of English and Travel Studies at Nottingham Trent University, where he is Director of the Centre for Travel Writing Studies. He is the author of 'Travellers in Africa: British Travelogues 1850-1900' (Manchester University Press, 1994) and editor of 'Writing and Race' (Longman, 1997).
