At a discounted introductory price, this new four volume collection from Routledge brings together pieces by both scholars and travel writers themselves. The popularity of travel writing has grown remarkably over the last thirty years, seeing hightened interest across academic disciplines.
As well as work by scholars, the collection also features pieces by travel writers discussing their own work, including:

The collection is carefully organised into volumes covering a broad spectrum within the subject area. Tim Youngs and Charles Forsdick focus upon the production of travel writing and the various contexts involved within travel writing. They also dedicate volumes to the varying modes of travel, the different types of traveller and critical approaches to travel writing.
Travel Writing is part of the Critical Concepts in Literary and Cultural Studies Series. This series provides concise, authoritative guides to key concepts in literary and cultural studies. Edited by acknowledged leaders in the field, the volumes consist of essential secondary literature. They give historical purchase on the development of the concept concerned and also provide students with a snapshot of current thinking.
