"The nineteenth-century travel writer cannibalised other modes of literary, geographical
and scientific writing, while simultaneously forging experimental and dynamic forms
in the struggle to represent the contingent realities of the road. This collection
reveals the variety of literary forms and visual media through which travel records
were conveyed in the period, bringing together a group of leading researchers from
a range of disciplines to explore the relationship between travel writing, visual
representation and formal innovation across the long nineteenth century. The first
part of the volume combines literary scholarship with art-historical research and
explores points of intersection between the print, visual and material culture of
travel. The second section investigates how existing literary and historical narratives
affected the literary representation of popular sites, and how the material realities
of transport impacted upon the formal techniques through which these experiences were
represented"
