Spanish Travel Writing
A Bibliography
Professor Steve Watson
York St John University
United Kingdom
This bibliography is an attempt to bring together, for the first time, a definitive list of publications within the travel writing genre on Spain in the English language. It spans the period from the eighteenth century to the end of the twentieth, and includes for the most part books by British and American authors, though with some notable exceptions. I am confident that it covers at least 95% of the material available in print. Where there are omissions these are likely to be for books published in the United States in the twentieth century, although many of these are included. The bibliography has not yet been cross-checked against the catalogue ofFoulche-Delbosc (1920 edn), and this will be done when time permits.
Books have been listed where they have a significant travel element, which means that they contain accounts of subjective engagements with movement from place to place or, occasionally, a particular place, although in the latter case it is the engagement rather than a description of the place per se that is counted as travel writing. Histories or descriptions of place that do not reflect personal experience are not included, although with the latter there are inevitably some grey areas.Travel guides are not included unless, again, these are personalised accounts or based on personal experience, though grey areas exist here also. Books have been included where Spain is one of a number of countries covered, these most often being Portugal, France, Italy or parts of North West Africa.
Dates of publication where possible are for the first edition of each book, otherwise the edition is specified. Where books have been identified from secondary sources some bibliographical or publication details may be missing.
Many of these books are available in hard copy through libraries and the book trade and many more have been digitized and can be found through internet searches. Some, however, remain elusive and are listed for completeness rather than ready availability.
I would be grateful for any information on omissions and inaccuracies.
