Abstract

This chapter gives an overview of the various approaches used by historians to the history of travel and the genre travelogue. It outlines primarily the period since the 1980s when history as a discipline discovered travelogues as a genre. Starting in a post Edward Said (and Orientalism) context around 1980, the articles sketches out approaches from border studies, mental mapping, gender history and the history of science that have made the genre of travel writing fruitful avenues in historical perspective.
