Description

This study, exploring a broad range of evocative Irish travel writing from 1850 to 1914, much of it highly entertaining and heavily laced with irony and humour, draws out interplays between tourism, travel literature and commodifications of culture. It focuses on the importance of informal tourist economies, illicit dimensions of tourism, national landscapes, ‘legend’ and invented tradition in modern tourism.

Author Biography:

Kevin J. James is Associate Professor of History at the University of Guelph, Canada, where he also is a core faculty member in the Centre for Scottish Studies. His research explores tourism, literature and identity in the Victorian era, including comparative Irish and Scottish economic, social and cultural history.
