These developments are depicted in a wider context of travel narratives written in other European languages. Grzegorz Moroz convincingly argues that, for all the similarities and cross-cultural influences, in the course of the nineteenth and twentieth century non-fiction Anglophone and Polish travel writing have dynamically evolved different generic horizons of expectations. While the Anglophone travel book developed relatively steadily in that period, the Polish genre of the podróż was first replaced by the listy (kartki) z podróży, and then by the reportaż podróżniczy.Textxet: Studies in Comparative Literature ;93.Travel writingLiterary criticism.lcgftTravel writing.808.06691Moroz Grzegorz1524001MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910794150803321A generic history of travel writing in Anglophone and Polish literature3764405UNINA
