Time and Temporalities in European Travel Writing

This book examines time and temporality in European travel writings from the late medieval period to the turn of the nineteenth century. In eight case studies, framed with a theoretical introduction, the volume explores how temporal aspects have shaped the genre and the ways in which places visited are conveyed in the travellers' accounts.
