Abstract:

<i>Travel Writing and Cultural Transfer</i>
addresses the multifaceted concept of cultural transfer through travel
writing, with the aim of expanding our knowledge of modes of travel in
the past and present and how they developed, as did the way in which
travel was reported.<br />Travel as both factual and fictional— with
authors and narratives moving between different worlds— is one of the
many devices that demonstrate the fluidity of the genre. This fluidity
accounts for the manifold and powerful influence of travel writing on
processes of cultural transfer. This volume also illustrates that
cultural transfer is frequently linked to issues of power, colonialism
and politics. The various chapters investigate the transmission of
other cultures, ideas and ideologies to the writer’s own cultural
sphere and consider how the processes of cultural transfer interact
with the forms and functions of travel writing.
