LITERARY TRAVELOGUE AS A GENRE OF TRAVEL PROSE: ORIGINS AND HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

In the article it is established that the writer-traveler relies on his travel notes, since the central principle of a traveling essay is the collection of interesting information during a stay in a foreign country. The typology and elements of the travelogue, in particular, its national color with the help of someone else's narrative in the comparative field, as well as the alien national space, which is perceived by the inner world of the narrator, are determined. In the travelogue, there is certainly the author's “I”, expressed in the elements of autobiography.
