{"product_id":"9780714632056","title":"The Art of Travel : Essays on Travel Writing","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1982. 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","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49102047641827,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":233.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9780714632056-1.jpg?v=1788348854","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9780714632056","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
