How did the multiple forms of Victorian travel literature, such as fiction, travel accounts, newspapers, and poetry, shape perceptions of imperial and national spaces, in the British context and beyond? This collection examines how, in the Victorian era, space and empire were shaped around the notion of boundaries, by travel narratives and practices, and from a variety of methodological and critical perspectives. From the travel writings of artists and polymaths such as Carmen Sylva and Richard Burton, to a reassessment of Rudyard Kipling's, H. G. Wells's and Julia Pardoe's cross-cultural and cross-gender travels, this collection assesses a broad range of canonical and lesser-studied Victorian travel texts and genres, and evaluates the representation of empires, nations, and individual identity in travel accounts covering Europe, Asia, Africa and Britain"--$cPublisher's website. 606 $aTravel in literature 606 $aImperialism in literature 606 $aTravelers' writings$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism$y19th century 615 0$aTravel in literature. 615 0$aImperialism in literature. 615 0$aTravelers' writings$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism 676 $a809.93355 702 $aFranchi$b Barbara 702 $aMutlu$b Elvan 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806853303321 996 $aCrossing borders in Victorian travel$93941049 997 $aUNINA
