This fascinating and original study shows that the English tourist industry is not a peculiarly modern creation. Concentrating on four types of perennial tourist attraction literary shrines, country houses, picturesque ruins, and the natural landscape Ian Ousby identifies the canons of taste that made them objects of fashionable attention in the eighteenthcentury, and records how they acquired the trappings of the fullblown tourist attraction. He traces the development not just of an industry but of a state of mind marked from its earliest days by the haunting fear that tourism spoils and maybe even destroys the very things it most admires. The Englishman's England is highly illustrated throughout.
