In Travel Writing: The Self and the World, Casey Blanton surveys the genre's development from classical times to the present, with an emphasis on Anglo-American travel writing since the eighteenth century. Identifying significant theoretical and critical contributions to the field, Blanton presents an engaging historical overview of travel writing and provides close readings of exemplary texts by six major figures: James Boswell, Mary Kingsley, Graham Greene, Peter Matthiessen, V. S. Naipaul, and Bruce Chatwin. The first study of the genre to combine synthesis and analysis at a level accessible to students, scholars, and general readers, Travel Writing: The Self and the World offers an inviting supplement for survey courses, comparative literature courses, and courses in twentieth-century Anglo-American writing.
