"This edited collection examines the meeting points between travel, mobility, and
conflict to uncover the experience of travel - whether real or imagined - in the early
modern world. Until relatively recently, both domestic travel and voyages to the wider
world remained dangerous undertakings. Physical travel, whether initiated by religious
conversion and pilgrimage, diplomacy, trade, war, or the desire to encounter other
cultures, inevitably heralded disruption: contact zones witnessed cultural encounters
that were not always cordial, despite the knowledge acquisition and financial gain
that could be reaped from travel. Vast compendia of travel such as Hakluyt's Principla
Navigations, Voyages and Discoveries, printed from the late sixteenth century, and
Prévost's Histoire Générale des Voyages (1746-1759) underscored European exploration
as a marker of European progress, and in so doing showed the tensions that can arise
as a consequence of interaction with other cultures. In focusing upon language acquisition
and translation, travel and religion, travel and politics, and imaginary travel, the
essays in this collection tease out the ways in which travel was both obstructed and
enriched by conflict"
