Travelogues: Narratives of Travel and Adventure
(Sawyer Library Lobby)
The 'Travelogues' display celebrates the popularity and influence of travel and adventure narratives, which are a perfect form of escapism during the summer months. The cultural impact and influence of travelogues is highlighted through the wide array of books available in this genre from traveling gourmets in search of flavorful meals in Europe to aging acquaintances reconnecting on the hiking trails of America. The display also includes travel photography, posters, and maps from Sawyer Library's collection. A bibliography of this display is available.
This display was created by Moira Yoe '11.
