Summary : First published in 1982. The Art of Travel is the first collection of critical essays to be devoted to British travel writing. It attempts to give a sense of the wealth of such writing, to map some of its forms and conventions and, implicitly, to claim a place for travel writing in any revised definition of literature. For this collection, travel includes sea voyages, European tours, commissioned enquiries into social conditions, and urban writing; travel writing ranges from works such as Sea and Sardinia by D.H. Lawrence whose status as a novelist guarantees his travel books some attention, through the essays and books of Victorian middle-class travellers into working-class London, to the work of V.S. Naipaul, a contemporary writer, who has increasingly preferred the travel book to the novel.

Summary : "Essays of Travel and in the Art of Writing" is a compelling collection of nonfiction by the celebrated author Robert Louis Stevenson. This volume brings together two distinct but complementary facets of Stevenson's intellectual life: his keen observations as a world traveler and his profound reflections on the mechanics and philosophy of literature. The travel sections offer evocative sketches of places and people, captured with the same vivid prose and adventurous spirit found in Stevenson's famous novels. From descriptions of the Swiss Alps to the rugged landscapes of Scotland, these pieces showcase his ability to transform personal journeys into universal meditations on nature and human character. Complementing these travelogues are Stevenson's influential essays on the craft of writing. He delves into the technicalities of style, the importance of narrative structure, and the moral responsibilities of the storyteller. For aspiring writers and students of literature, these insights provide a rare glimpse into the creative mind behind his classic works of fiction. This collection serves as a testament to Stevenson's mastery of the English language and his enduring contribution to both the travel genre and literary criticism.
