Travel literature information


The genre of travel literature or travelogue encompasses outdoor literature, guide books, nature writing, and travel memoirs.[1]

One early travel memoirist in Western literature was Pausanias, a Greek geographer of the 2nd century CE. In the early modern period, James Boswell's Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides (1786) helped shape travel memoir as a genre.
