Learn About The Masters of Travel Writing,
By
This review is from: Travel Writing. The Self and the World (Genres in Context) (Hardcover)
I mistakenly bought this book thinking it would teach me how to write travel articles. Actually it might benefit aspiring travel writers to study the greats of the genre. This analyzes in-depth Graham Greene, Bruce Chatwin, Mary Kingsley, James Boswell, Peter Matthiessen, and V.S. Naipaul.Along with studying them, you learn about types of travel writing (nature travel, modern psychological journey, vain travelers, Victorian women travelers). This combination of history of travel writing and literary criticism makes heavy reading but should be useful to those wondering "what was Bruce Chatwin trying to say in Songlines?" |
