| Summary: | This Element develops and showcases a new methodological framework in which to study the connections between early modern travel writing and life- and self-writing. Turning the scholarly focus in the study of travel writing from eyewitnessing and protoethnography of foreign lands to the 'fashioned' and portrayed selves and 'inner worlds' of travellers, personal memory, autobiographical practices and lived yet often heavily mediated travel experiences, it opens up perspectives to travel writing in its many modes, that extend both before and after 'lived' travels into their many pre- and afterlives in textual form. |
