Introduction

The practice of travel writing is almost as old as human history. Humans have always been interested in telling their stories and discovering other "pages" 2 of the world. 3

From Pausanias to Ibn

Battuta, to Marco Polo, to Columbus, this fascination with travel and auto/biography has endured. In sixteenth century Europe, thanks to the combined effect of three great inventions-"the printing press, gunpowder, and the compass"-news about the larger world circulated fast and furious: "The expanded range of movement facilitated by the compass and the dissemination through print of information about new places and peoples were, in a sense, mutually reinforcing" (Voigt and Brancaforte 365). Travel writing captured the heightened attention of readers, writers/navigators and printers so much so the humanists considered it essential in the formation of youth and tried to codify it. 4 Subsequently, this perennial interest in travel will explode further, first in the 19 th century with the intensification of 1 I would like to thank Lincoln University of Pennsylvania for funding and supporting this project. I would also like to thank the reviewers and contributors for their work on this collection. 2 To paraphrase Saint Augustine, "The world is a book, and those who do not travel write only a page." 3 This theme was supposed to be a "happy" topic. The coronavirus pandemic (COVIT-19) threw a wrench into our expectations. Communities, states and countries around the world have been forced to close their borders and reject or quarantine any traveler cut in the wrong place at the wrong time. 4 See Sylvain Venayre, Ecrire le voyage: De Montaigne à Le Clézio (Cover page).

colonial, military and economic schemes, and then in the 20 th century with the advent of mass tourism and widespread access to technology (drones, cameras, air travel, web streaming, etc.). "Anyone, at anytime, anywhere, in any language, can 'write' literature." Philippe Hamon's words apply quite easily to travel narrative and sound even truer today than it did two or three decades ago. This expanded definition of literature allows us to capture briefly some of the fundamental characteristics of travel literature. First, by using literary devices to please their readers (description, imagination to fill in the gaps, anecdotes, etc.), journey accounts have often raised issues of credibility: "Travelers have often had bad press and have been called liars over the centuries" (Jean-Claude Berchet 5). 5

Another hallmark of travel

writing is its diversity: "anyone" not only can write, but also write in any manner. In an article titled "Odyssées," Jean-Luc Moreau playfully highlights a number of these attributes: Because there are all kinds of trips, there are all kinds of travel stories . . . Add to this that the trip is true or imaginary, takes place in the past or in the future, not only on foot, on horseback, . . . but also inquotesdbs_dbs45.pdfusesText_45
