Travel, Writing and the Media Contemporary and Historical Perspectives

"This timely investigation of the mediation and mediatisation of the foreign through travel explores the textual and visual conduits through which travel experiences have been communicated to increasingly global audiences. It makes a bold and exciting contribution to travel writing studies and media history."

Alison E. Martin, Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz/Germersheim, Germany

"This is a ground-breaking volume: embracing inter alia magazines, photographs, radio broadcasts and video games, TEDx talks, Twitter feeds, Instagram influencers and Netflix, it maps in exemplary and thought-provoking fashion the multimodal and intermedial dimensions of modern travel culture, from the eighteenth century to the present day."

Carl Thompson, University of Surrey, UK
