Britain and the Narration of Travel in the Nineteenth Century

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Interrogating the multiple ways travel was narrated and mediated, this interdisciplinary collection examines the personal, public, and imperial modalities of nineteenth-century travel. Whether focusing on tourism, exploration, art, literature, technology, or material culture, these essays show how multiple narratives circulated, cross-fertilised, and reacted to one another to produce new narratives, new objects, and new modes of travel.
