Studies in Travel Writing is an international, refereed journal that encourages multi- and cross-disciplinary scholarship on travel texts. It welcomes essays on travel writing in its broadest as well as its conventional sense and aims to serve as a forum for discussion and debate about primary materials and methodologies. It promotes both recovery research and theoretical approaches. Without restriction on period or region of study, the journal allows for specific contexts of travel writing to be established and for common features to be identified.
