330   $aThis volume contains five essays and a critical introduction presenting the most recent interpretations of travelers and their narratives in the early modern world, with particular attention to the relationship between the act of travel and descriptions of it. The articles here focus on England, France, Africa, and the early United States, as well as on the nature of how travel narratives contributed to the formation of humanistic culture. Contributors include well-known authorities on travel narratives, including Mary Fuller (MIT) and Joan-Pau Rubiés (London School of Economics), as well as younger scholars?Jonathan Sassi (City University of New York), Nicholas Dew (McGill University), and Anne Good (Minnesota)?already making a decisive mark in early modern studies.
