Abstract
Travelling is an essential part of everyday life, and it is hardly surprising that the subject is often treated in contemporary fiction. Not only does the acclaimed contemporary British novelist David Lodge send his characters on vacations, tourist trips and religious pilgrimages, but he also utilises the space of the road and the characters’ perception of travelling to move his narratives forward. This paper investigates the distinct types of travelling presented in the novels Paradise News, Therapy and Deaf Sentence written by Lodge and aims to discover whether there are any connections and similarities between these forms of travel, relying on the insights offered by several leading critics and interpreters of the historical genre known as travel writing.
