Objectives

Study of different aspects and versions of the travel theme in English literature, in as far as possible in their cinematographic adaptation, as they can be presented in some of the most well known narrative texts of juvenile literature. In a choice of authors including R. L. Stevenson, J. M. Barrie, H. G. Wells and Tolkien, the meaning of travel ranges significantly from a more realistic view of time and space to an utmost imaginary and fantastic conception and representation of those categories.
