Travel as Metaphor makes a significant contribution to recent discussions of French travel literature from the 16th through the 18th centuries by shifting its focus from process to metaphor. The voyage inscribed in early modern French philosophy is analyzed here not only as a geographic and cultural process but also as a metaphor for the enabling movement of thought itself. Implementing a deconstructive and psychoanalytical approach to texts by philosophical writers who travelled as well as wrote on travel, Van Den Abbeele finds that a writer's sustained recourse to the figure of travel inevitably points to underlying concerns with gender, cultural, and textual differences, and is about claims to the propriety and integrity of home, body, text, and name.
