Women travellers decentring "the South" through nordicity : Mary Wollstonecraft, the Wilmot sisters and Elizabeth Rigby Eastlake
Résumé
"Twenty-First-Century Perspectives on British Travel Writing" evidences the evolution of travel writing studies over the last two decades and points to innovative ways to study this heterogenous genre. This volume seeks to build bridges between the study of travel writing and disciplines of sciences and human sciences so that the analyses of travel texts, images and objects lead to interdisciplinary approaches. Through case studies of British travel writing from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century, the contributors provide illustrations of the fruitful intersection of travel writing studies with other methodologies, such as literary studies, gender studies, postcolonial studies, visual studies, areal studies, engineering studies, food studies, animal studies, ecocriticism, posthumanism and geocriticism.
