Abstract:"Travel Writing and Cultural Transfer addresses the multifaceted concept of cultural transfer through travel writing, with the aim of expanding our knowledge of modes of travel in the past and present and how they developed, as did the way in which travel was reported. Travel as both factual and fictional, is one of the many forms travel writers have used to illustrate the fluidity of the genre, where the authors and narrative both move between different worlds. This is one of the reasons why processes of cultural transfer in this genre are so manifold and powerful. This volume also illustrates that cultural transfer is frequently linked to issues of power, colonialism and politics. The various chapters investigate the transmission of other cultures, ideas and ideologies to the writer's own cultural sphere and consider how the processes of cultural transfer interact with the forms and functions of travel writing"--
