The Literature of Travel and Exploration: An Encyclopedia edited by Jennifer
Speake.
Call for articles.
This one-volume illustrated reference work will extend to around 1000
large-format, double column pages and will contain in the region of 600
entries. Among the aspects of the literature of travel and exploration to be
covered are: places and routes, major writers, methods of transport and
types of journey, genres, societies and journals, and themes such as
censorship, Orientalism, and Romanticism. The entries will examine the
literature of travel and exploration from classical antiquity to the present
day and will have entries on significant writers and their works from around
the world. It is intended that this volume will be a valuable resource for
all those studying, researching, or teaching any aspect of travel writing,
in addition to appealing to the general reader with an interest in exploring
this growing subject. Publication: Summer 2001.
We are looking for further contributions on topics such as colonist/settler
narratives, crusades, and surveys of the literature of travel to Eastern
Europe, Japan, London, New York, Beijing and other areas. Deadline:
September 2000.
