Brian Yothers puts American travel writing about the Holy Land by major writers like Twain and Melville in dialogue with missionary accounts, captivity narratives, chronicles of religious pilgrimages, and travel writing in the genteel tradition. The profound intertextuality American travel writing shares with Hebrew and Christian scriptures and with British and continental travel narratives is striking, as is the critique of nascent imperial discourse Yothers examines in Melville's Clarel.
