Literature of Travel and Discovery: The Journey of the Self (Spring, 2008)
[Home] Traveling in order to encounter the world and invent the self is
older than Odysseus and more satisfying than “Road Rules.” Examining a
variety of travel writing, students in this course will not only enjoy the
journeys of other adventurers but also develop their own travel dreams. This
course will explore the literature and experience of travel, reading broadly
across the world, examining both the travelers and the places they explore. Students
will also plans and take a brief “authentic traveler” journey to
Philadelphia, compose and publish their own travelogues, and finally plan a
personal journey of some length, their own travel dream. – PJClements & Tris Wood Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness,
and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome,
charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one
little corner of the earth all one's lifetime. The Alchemist, Paulho
