Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A book about the meaning of travel, about how important the topic has been for writers for two and a half centuries, and about how excellent the literature of travel happened to be in England and America in the 1920s and 30s.

Synopsis:

An elegy for the lost art of travel-as opposed to today's tourism-Abroad is also a celebration of the British writers who memorialized the years between the two world wars as the last great age of travel.
