Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This thesis examines the state-of the-art of the domestic travel writing genre. In the introduction the challenges facing domestic travel writers are presented. The conclusion mentions recent criticisms of domestic travel writing and refutes these, maintaining that the genre can still offer ideas of worth to the public forum. The four chapters framed within the introduction and conclusion are all explorations of particular trends in domestic travel writing.
