Homelands in the Mind: The Depiction of the Concept of "Home" in the Travel Writing of Margaret Laurence and Wilfred Thesiger.
Summary: This essay will explore the representation of "home" in Margaret Laurence's The Prophet's Camel Bell and Wilfred Thesiger's Arabian Sands. It will be argued that in both writers' works the finding of a "home" in a foreign land occurs in the context of Western colonialism of the Middle East.
