From the mid-eighteenth century to the twentieth, tourism became established as a leisure industry and travel writing as a popular genre. In this collection of essays, leading international historians and travel writing experts examine the role of home tourism in the UK and Ireland in the development of national identities and commercial culture.
'This well-conceived collection fills a definite gap in the existing scholarly literature; it will be a useful starting point for anyone interested in the British home tour.' - Carl Thompson, Lecturer in English, Nottingham Trent University, UK
