Description

This Element develops and showcases a new methodological framework in which to study the connections between early modern travel writing and life- and self-writing.

Turning the scholarly focus in the study of travel writing from eye-witnessing and proto-ethnography of foreign lands to the 'fashioned' and portrayed selves and 'inner worlds' of travellers – personal memory, autobiographical practices, and lived yet often heavily mediated travel experiences – it opens up perspectives to travel writing in its many modes, that extend both before and after 'lived' travels into their many pre- and afterlives in textual form.

This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
