Description

The first comprehensive anthology of writing covering travel in Britain, Europe and Asia Minor, Africa, the Caribbean, North America and the Pacific in the 'long eighteenth century' (1680s-1830s).

The anthology features writing by famous authors such as Daniel Defoe, Ann Radcliffe, Mary Wollstonecraft as well as lesser known and obscure ones; famous voyages and expeditions (by Captain Cook, Mungo Park), and lesser known ones.

A wide variety of different kinds of travellers and travel-writing is represented: natural historians, tourists, explorers, slaves (Olaudah Equiano), and a good representation of women travellers.

A lively introduction by Elizabeth Bohls surveys the contexts of early modern travel writing, and informative headnotes cover the different geographical regions, periods, genres and individual authors.

Texts are taken from the earliest published versions, modernized where necessary.
