This volume in the Culture and Civilization series gathers interdisciplinary voices to present a collection of essays on travel and travel narratives. The fact that travel and travel writing have a prehistory that is embedded in foundational religious texts and ancient narratives of journey, like the Odyssey and the Epic of Gilgamesh, makes both travel and travel writing fundamental and essential expressions of humanity.
