[Abstract] This paper examines the portrayal of space within Robert Louis Stevenson’s Travels with a
Donkey in the Cévennes, in particular its use of intertextuality. It firstly establishes a critical
context for travel writing, and the context of reception of Travels with a Donkey in the
Cévennes, before looking at how space in the book is related to historical information which
Stevenson gathered outside of his time in the area. The paper suggests that space in the book
is depicted as belated, and that the intertextuality of the work complicates its customary
classification as an ‘off-the-beaten-track’ text. A comparison with The Cévennes Journal,
Stevenson’s record of his journey, draws attention to how he presented this experience
through the prism of information about the region’s history. An examination of Stevenson’s
integration of material about the Camisards shows the extent to which his text was shaped
by his reading and research, and his concern to present the space as he had come to
understand it through texts. Comparisons with both contemporary and more recent travel
texts show how Stevenson’s use of such sources to describe space prefigures postmodern
