Description

Keywords for Travel Writing Studies draws on the notion of the ‘keyword’ as initially elaborated by Raymond Williams in his seminal 1976 text Keywords: A Vocabulary of Culture and Society to present 100 concepts central to the study of travel writing as a literary form. Each entry in the volume is around 1,000 words, the style more essayistic than encyclopaedic, with contributors reflecting on their chosen keyword from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. The emphasis on travelogues and other cultural representations of mobility drawn from a range of national and linguistic traditions ensures that the volume has a comparative dimension; the aim is to give an overview of each term in its historical and theoretical complexity, providing readers with a clear sense of how the selected words are essential to a critical understanding of travel writing. Each entry is complemented by an annotated bibliography of five essential items suggesting further reading. Review ‘This is a quirky, wide-ranging and very useful book that will be invaluable to anyone with an interest in travel writing.’ ―Susan Bassnett, Professor Emerita of Comparative Literature, University of Warwick, UK ‘This is a very useful collection of 100 keywords for the study of travel and its representations. Written and edited by a number of leading specialists in the field, it offers a valuable introduction to the terms and concepts most commonly in use to discuss travel writing.’ ―Jan Borm, Professor of British Literature, University of Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, France ‘Keywords for Travel Writing Studies is a welcome and hugely exciting collection of the central concepts animating the critical study of travel writing. Rather than locking down a fixed map of the genre, this collection shows the vibrancy, contingency and ambivalence of these texts. Perhaps most impressively, this collection is able to foreground the genre’s constitutive power relations while also revealing its capacity to challenge and surprise us.’ ―Debbie Lisle, Professor of International Relations, School of History, Anthropology, Philosophy & Politics, Queen’s University Belfast, UK Book Description A presentation of key concepts in travel writing as a literary form with cross-disciplinary implications. About the Author Charles Forsdick is the James Barrow Professor of French at the University of Liverpool, UK, and AHRC Theme Leadership Fellow for ‘Translating Cultures’. He has published widely on travel writing, colonial history, postcolonial literature and the cultures of slavery. Zoë Kinsley is senior lecturer in English literature at Liverpool Hope University, UK. Her publications explore the literary representation of travel, space and landscape in the long eighteenth century. Kathryn Walchester teaches in the Department of English and Cultural History at Liverpool John Moores University, UK, and has published on nineteenth-century women’s European travel.
