摘要

旅游的动机是其形式和内容的核心。这篇文章解决了一个代表性不足的旅行写作领域:从工作目的的旅行中产生的旅行文本。本文以普里斯特利的《英国之旅》为例，论证了普里斯特利对工作的重视而非对休闲的重视，导致了对该文本的批判接受，最初是迷失方向和困惑，后来被历史和政治阅读所主导。在他的书中，普里斯特利探讨了工作和身份的关系，而他自己作为作家和旅行者的地位是这一点的核心，象征着他对旅行推销员形象的关注。

Working, travelling, and identity: J.B. Priestley’s English Journey (1934)

ABSTRACT The motivation for travel is central to its form and content. This article addresses an under-represented area of travel writing: the travel text that results from a journey undertaken for work purposes. By considering J. B. Priestley’s English Journey as a case-study, it argues that the text’s critical reception, at first disorientated and confused, and later dominated by historical and political readings, has resulted from Priestley’s emphasis on work rather than leisure. In his text Priestley explores the relationship of work and identity, and his own position as writer and traveller is central to this, symbolised in his preoccupation with the figure of the travelling salesman.

期刊介绍： Founded in 1997 by Tim Youngs, Studies in Travel Writing is an international, refereed journal dedicated to research on travel texts and to scholarly approaches to them. Unrestricted by period or region of study, the journal allows for specific contexts of travel writing to be established and for the application of a range of scholarly and critical approaches. It welcomes contributions from within, between or across academic disciplines; from senior scholars and from those at the start of their careers. It also publishes original interviews with travel writers, special themed issues, and book reviews.
