Description
Summary:	A collection of essays which focus on 20th-century travel writing. Though travel writing has sometimes been viewed as a second-rate literary form, the essays in this volume aim to reinvigorate an appreciation of the genre as a blend of self-scrutiny, social comment and intercultural exchange. The contributors to Temperamental Journeys address issues ranging from the special role of women travellers and the dangers of cultural chauvinism in a postcolonial world to the response of postmodern literary travellers exploring the same territory as previous writers.
