Dissertation note: Thesis (M.A.) - Cairo University - Faculty of Arts - Department of English Summary: The present thesis endeavors to conduct a comparative study between Florence Nightingale's Letters from Egypt: A Journey on the Nile (1849-1850) and William Golding's An Egyptian Journal (1985). The two texts in question are discussed in terms of their relevance to the dynamics of the colonial discourse. The objective of juxtaposing two different historical periods is to find out how far the colonial discourse is still at work in the postcolonial era. The study adopts a psychological approach in its analysis of these travelogues. It appraises the intersection between Freudian defense mechanisms and the perceptions, representations, stereotypical images and platitudes presented by travel writers in the colonial/ postcolonial eras. It postulates that both Nightingale and Golding recruit a set of defense mechanisms in order to inoculate themselves from the feelings of anxiety that they experience during their journeys across Egypt. It also interrogates whether they deploy the same defense mechanisms or not
