Through diaries, journals, expeditions, pilgrimages, adventures and leisure travelogues, we will read texts that define the question, What is Travel? As a class, we will discuss the nature and meaning of travel. The course introduces different types of travel literature, and the traveler’s ways of responding to and interpreting people and cultures. We will discuss how narrative structure, content, perspective, and cultural assumptions inform this literature and impact their audience. Note: course readings will be provided to students via email.
