| Description: |
Minds in Motion argues that travel literature expedites individual engagements with epistemology because the genre forces authors to determine and disclose the potential value of their individual perspectives. More specifically, it examines how eighteenth-century British travel writers explore newly configured models of empiricism even as they continue to probe the role of the self and the imagination in the production of experiential knowledge. |
