It is any work which is written by a traveler .not all the writers of travelogue are professionals .Josef Addison ,Daniel Defoe are professional writers .it can be written by a professional ,or it can be written by any person a soldier ,an explorer…etc . Travel literature is defined as the narrative accounts written about an individual or group's encounter with another place. These writings also referred to as travelogues.
Although much of the world had been widely traveled and explored prior to this time period, the nineteenth-century saw the rise of the British Empire and an explosion in world travel by British citizens. The travel narratives written during this century were so plentiful that in the Exploration.
Nowadays, sometimes it is not a written book; it may be a TV program.
However, all time travelogues give factual information with artistic literary *******. It gives discretion of a certain place, rivers, mountain; trees .it would like a geography book.
But it differs in one aspect that it gives the traveler's opinion in his personal experience or adventure .it supposed to behave events, story, and experience given to us.
Travel literature, however, should not be confused with travel guides, which provide readers with more pragmatic information about a specific place. Where travel guides are informative.
The language of the travelogue is a literary style describes a certain accident, customs, and experience about people.
When we talk about a certain story of the travelogue there should be a comment on a certain journey or experience.
Another point of the travelogue is that should be a point of view because each of us has his own identity , a certain personality ,language , religion … the travel literature this guide points to should let the reader experience a particular culture, place, or people through the eyes of the writer.
For example, the age of 18th century was the age of colonialism.
If an English man who is going to Africa he is thinking that he is superior of these savages African people ,they don’t have any civilization .this would be the point of view of the English man ,his country is colonizing these people because they are barbarian and they are superior to them. (It is a cultural superiority)
If I am an English man, and I am going to Africa or India to spread my religion. Many travelers ,religious men wrote about their journey . like Ibn Batota ,he wrote about his pilgrim to Makah .
So ,if you are a soldier ,explorer , writer ,you have a certain character ,personality, language and feelings which color the way you see other people.
The first wave of travel literature in the century following Columbus was full of heroic tales of crusades, conquests and pilgrimages. Yet as the reality of these tales began to be questioned and as the value to natural philosophy of the newly discovered phenomena began to be respected, a different style of travel narrative emerged.
That is why the travel books have become very fashionable books nowadays. It is not only about literature, journey or adventure, but it is also a political ********s and historical ********s that explain an important event that happened in our world.
Robinson Crusoe is a travelogue and sentimental journey.
It is fashion in the critical studies to study travelogue not as an ancient book that has a certain point of view, but as a historical and political ********s.
-How this cultural superiority applied to our novel sentimental journey?
Actually, the protagonist of this novel has a real journey. He is an English man, he visits France and Italy.
France and Italy are western European nations, they are superior nations.
The English men a sense of racial superiority even with these nations .Even the religious point of view, that all are Christians, but the English people said that their church, religion and brand of Christianity are the best of all But Catholics are fanatics.
Their church is good but not as the English church.
The novel deals with the French and Italy, although he has a love story and adventure, but all the time and between lines he is superior.
Travel literature is an important sort of novels especially now, whether they are written or TV show.
Most of writers of the 18th century have the writings of the travelogues.
All the time we don’t care which it is really happened or not, it is a number of stories with a certain attitude and point of view between lines.
The cultural superiority is one of the most important points of view.
The end
