The Art of Travel is the first collection of critical essays to be devoted to British travel writing. It attempts to give a sense of the wealth of such writing, to map some of its forms and conventions and, implicitly, to claim a place for travel writing in any revised definition of literature. For this collection, travel includes sea voyages, European tours, commissioned enquiries into social conditions, and urban writing; travel writing ranges from works such as Sea and Sardinia by D.H. Lawrence whose status as a novelist guarantees his travel books some attention, through the essays and books of Victorian middle-class travellers into working-class London, to the work of V.S. Naipaul, a contemporary writer, who has increasingly preferred the travel book to the novel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePhilip Dodd is the editor of the journal Prose Studies and of a volume of essays on Walter Pater, and the author of a number of essays on nineteenth- and twentieth-century literature.
