Why choose this project topic?
This topic turns travel literature into a focused reading task by investigating the relationship between gender and permission to move in travel narratives. A clearly bounded corpus gives you passages to compare and an argument to develop beyond a general plot summary.
What does a close analysis of two published Nigerian travel narratives with comparable journey scales reveal about the relationship between gender and permission to move in travel narratives?

A suggested research approach
Obtain lawful access to two published Nigerian travel narratives with comparable journey scales. Compare border encounters, safety descriptions and encounters with hosts while attending to narrative position. Establish selection criteria before detailed reading, record edition and page references, and test the developing interpretation against passages that complicate it.
