For this assignment, please focus on the theme of frontiers and borders. Which frontiers
and borders are most at stake in our readings up to this point in the semester? In what
sense are they significant for characters in our stories? How do they change from one
context to another, or raise questions about travel (and travel writing) more broadly?
Issues to consider might include exile, pilgrimage, crusade, exploration, geography,
mapping, symbolic representations of space, concepts of home and national identity,
ideas about the limits of the known world, mobility, stasis, technologies of travel and
navigation, cultural differences, how authors and speakers see themselves about
those they perceive as foreigners, etc. As always, you must support your claims with
quotations and textual evidence.
