This captivating book delves into the fascinating realm of British continental travel and tourism during the nineteenth century, spanning an expansive geographical range from Norway to Bulgaria. It explores a diverse array of topics, including visitors' albums, missionary endeavors, and the transition from juvenilia to collaborative authorship. Through its insightful essay topics, the book encourages us to contemplate new aesthetics of travel, such as travel as consumption, travel as satire, and the evolving culture of tourism.
Arranged chronologically, the book charts the remarkable growth and evolution of this consumerist ideology of travel, driven by the desires of both men and women. It highlights the insatiable appetite for exploring old routes while also appropriating the latest innovations. Interart reproductions of description and illustration emerge, fostering a broader cultural understanding of tourism. Moreover, tourism finds its way into popular entertainment and domestic settings, further expanding its reach and influence.
Continental tourism offers a rich tapestry of perspectives, providing comprehensive coverage of cultural phenomena that were increasingly integrated into and influenced by nineteenth-century continental tours. The essays in this book suggest a seamless coexistence of travel and experiential boundaries, unveiling the emergence of a consumerist attitude toward travel that continues to shape our modern journeys.
