Travels, Explorations and Empires, 1770-1835, Part I Vol 1 : Travel Writings on North America, the Far East, North and South Poles and the Middle East

A collection of work that attempts to reflect the diversity of travel literature from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This literature often reveals something of the cultural and gender difference of the travellers, as well as ideas on colonialism, anthropology and slavery.
