- Summary:
- Although the practice of reading and writing typically requires stasis, travel writing emerges from movement. This book examines the tensions between actual journeys and their resultant texts by asking questions about the meaning of 'movement' and what counts as 'travel writing' in an age of virtual journeying and enforced immobility.
