Realism replaced the romantic attitude that had previously dominated travel writing, due in part to thepractical exigencies of tourism, photography and industrialization. Discusses cultural biases in travel writing, combining accuracy with good story telling, and how hundreds of newspapers and magazines in the last third of the century made it possible to turn travel writing into a lifelong career.
