This seminar will provide an introduction to travel writing, from pilgrims’ itineraries to modern travel accounts. We will work with several introductions to travel writing in order to gain an overview of the genre. Colonialism, post-colonialism, as well as the concept of Orientalism are part of this field of study.
A reader with a selection of texts, including authors like Richard Francis Burton, Robert Louis Stevenson and Robert Cunninghame Graham will be made available. |
