Travel Writing and Wales
In 2014 the journal Studies in Travel Writing will publish a special
issue on travel writing and Wales, edited by Carol Tully (Bangor
University), Kathryn Jones (Swansea University) and Heather Williams
(Centre for Advanced Welsh and Celtic Studies).
Essays in English, of around 7,000-10,000 words, may address topics
relating to the mediation of Wales through travel writing from 1750 to
the present day. Travel writing may encompass travel memoirs, travel
guides, almanacs, encyclopaedias, private correspondences, creative
works, periodical contributions, websites and blogs. Contributions are
welcomed on representations of Wales and ?Welshness? / ?Celticness? in
travel writing by travellers (e.g. scholar travellers, tourists,
migrants, exiles and refugees) from across the globe. The texts
studied may be from any country, language or culture, but essays
should be in English. Topics might include, but are not limited to:
? Welsh cultural identity
? Discourses of ?difference?
? ?Celtic melancholy? and nostalgia
? Landscape and industry
? Religion and the sublime
The timetable is as follows: Abstracts of around 500 words by 1 April
2012; essays to be commissioned by 15 May 2012; commissioned essays
due to editors by 5 January 2013; referees? reports due 28 February
