Introduces the genre, outlining competing definitions. Provides a broad historical survey from the medieval period to present day. Explores the autobiographical dimensions of the form. Looks at canonical and more marginal works, including writing by both men and women, and both colonial and postcolonial texts. Uses both British and American travelogues to consider the genre's role in shaping the history of nation.
