This module is intended to illustrate the history of how writers have confronted an ever expanding world. The popularity of travel writing, and of writing which claims to come from far flung places demonstrates the thrill of being de-centred, of having one’s own values and assumptions challenged and sometimes jeopardized. The texts on this module describe a history of dialogue, conflict and confusion between Western European and non-Western European cultures. Literature of this kind can serve both imperialist and anti-imperialist agendas, can help subjugate or can help liberate.
