There has been a resurgence of interest in the prose fiction of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in recent years, and an increasing awareness that its influence on the English imagination was linked intrinsically to the emergent English nation's perception of its place in an expanding world. This special issue of the Yearbook of English Studies takes a fresh look at that conversation, and explores the continuities as well as discontinuities in travel encounters and the imaginative negotiation of such encounters across the period. Bringing together influential and established voices as well as emerging scholars, the collection examines texts ranging from the travel accounts of Mandeville and Hakluyt, to the fiction of Sidney, Nashe, Lodge, Wroth, Barclay and Godwin, shaped by travel in multiple conceptual and material ways. Together, they throw important new light on the productive tension between the stories of travel and stories that travelled in this period, across time, space, languages and genre.
