The Beaten Track: European Tourism, Literature, and the Ways to 'Culture', 18001918 (Economics),Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Taking in a wide variety of nineteenth and early twentiethcentury textsfiction, poetry, travel writings, guidebooks, periodicals, and business historiesThe Beaten Track attempts to grasp what modern representations of 'culture' owe to the long process of confrontation with a democratizing and institutionalizing European tourism. Buzard argues that an exaggerated perception, first emerging after the Napoleonic Wars, of the Continental tour's sudden radical openness to virtually 'every' level of society took firm hold on the British and American travelling imaginationa hold strengthened, over the years, by the visible labors of travel popularizers such as Thomas Cook and professional guidebook publishers such as Murray and Baedeker. One consequencetraceable in sources ranging from Punch and Blackwood's Magazine to writings by Wordsworth, Dickens, Frances Trollope, Ruskin, Anna Jameson, Henry James, Forster, and otherswas a new set of formulations of what constitutes 'authentic' culture (in a given place) and 'genuine' cultural experience (in a given person). Accounts of the modern European tour evolved a symbolic economy of practices aimed at distinguishing the true 'Traveller' from the 'Vulgar Tourist'mainly on the basis of imputed personal merits, not explicit social privileges. Its various forms of 'antitourism' helped to make the European tour an exemplary cultural practice of modern liberal democracies, appearing at once popularly accessible and exclusive.
