Impossible Domesticity Travels in Mexico
By Leila Gomez Examines perceptions of Mexico from around the world during the 19th and 20th century. Travelers often perceive Mexico as a mythical place onto which they project their own cultures’ desires, fears, and anxieties. This project studies the images of Mexico and the ways they were contested by travellers of different national origins and professions from the 19th to the 21st centuries. It starts with Humboldt, the German naturalist whose fame sprang from his trip to Mexico, and ends with Bolaño, the Chilean novelist whose work defines Mexico as an "oasis of horror."

Romania Revisited On the Trail of English Travellers, 1602–1941
By Alan Ogden The definitive story of the journeys made by English travellers to Romania between 1602 and 1941. This volume interweaves the impressions of previous generations into a witty account of the author’s own journeys to Romania, providing readers with a comprehensive and perspicacious review of today's Romania. Although the chapters are arranged to follow his own route, the author successfully integrates earlier writers into his narrative by linking them to towns and places. Starting with the Transylvanian adventures of Captain John Smith in 1602, the bibliography is the most detailed inventory published of English travel writing on Romania.
