Description: "Travel and Experience examines the early modern cultural debate over theoretical versus experiential forms of learning as centered on the subject of travel. It considers changing experiences of and perspectives on travel in this period as registered in travel writing and represented in a range of discourses on travel, including those found in educational treatises, works of imaginative fiction, and texts on natural philosophy."--Jacket.
