Abstract

Ook in de klassieke oudheid bestond er al toerisme. Romeinen bewogen zich verveeld in een door slaven gedragen draagstoel langs het strand bij Capri, of lieten zich een flesje kitscherig reukwater aanreiken met een beeltenis van de Vesuvius erop gegraveerd. Soms doken ze in geitenleren badpakken in zee en peddelden wat door de branding. Ook de Grieken en Troje waren bij de Romeinen zeer in trek.

Abstract

Between the late seventeenth and the early nineteenth century, the possibilities for travelling within Britain became increasingly various owing to improved transport systems and the popularization of numerous tourist spots. "Women Writing the home tour, 1682-1812" examines women's participation in that burgeoning touristic tradition, considering the ways in which the changing face of British travel and its writing can be traced through the accounts produced by the women who journeyed England, Scotland, and Wales during this important period. This book explores female-authored home tour travel narratives in print, as well as manuscript works that have hitherto been neglected in criticism. Discussing texts produced by authors, including Celia Fiennes, Ann Radcliffe and Dorothy Wordsworth alongside the works of lesser-known travellers such as Mary Morgan and Dorothy Richardson, Kinsley considers the construction, and also the destabilization, of gender, class, and national identity through chapters that emphasize the diversity and complexity of this rich body of writings.
