Synopsis
The contributors to |Methods for Teaching Travel Literature and Writing: Exploring the World and Self| discuss how and why they have integrated travel literature and writing into their courses. Subjects range from the study of travel literature granting insight into how travel authors, such as Bill Bryson and Paul Theroux, convince readers to -buy into- their worlds and reflect the readers' positions in society, to contemplating the meanings of the words -traveler- and -tourist-. Other chapters examine how actual traveling can shape students' writing and vice versa, whereas still others address how the study of the genre and actually writing it promotes interdisciplinarity.|
