Abstract

This bibliography comprises travel literature written in the English language prior to 1940 by travelers and explorers who were venturing outside their countries of residence. For the purposes of this bibliography, travel literature is defined as the narrative accounts written about an individual’s or group’s encounter with another place. Due to the variety and amount of works that could potentially be considered travel literature, the compilers For of this bibliography decided to exclude several sub-genres, including travel guides, emigration advice, promotional material sponsored by cities, railroad schedules, and guides for ship pilots.

Description

The bibliography is arranged geographically by destination, and when one title includes several geographic destinations, it will appear in each section. Recent advances in technology allowed the compilers unprecedented access to bibliographic resources, and titles were selected with the help of numerous electronic and print resources, including the Nineteenth Century Short Title Catalog, Early English Books Online, Eighteenth Century Collections Online, and WorldCat, among other bibliographies and guide. For titles after 1940 to 2005 see: Global Odyssey: A Bibliography of Travel Literature, 1940 to the Present.
