This book is a historical and critical assessment of contributions
by American writer and lecturer John Lawson Stoddard (1850-1931).
It is the first scholarly effort to provide visual and literary
analyses of his illustrated travel works and political writings. It
claims that Stoddard was a principle engine behind movements toward
transforming tourism into a growing consumer culture, democratizing
liberal arts education, and fueling anti-WWI campaigns. By the late
1870s, John Lawson Stoddard had played a major role in transforming
the aristocratic Grand Tour into a mass cultural phenomenon. His
photographs and accompanying public lectures on distant places and
peoples caught the attention of decision makers in the U.S.
government, but perhaps more importantly, his images and text were
imprinted in the minds of millions of audience members. This book
suggests how critical approaches borrowed from the
interdisciplinary literature of visual culture are helpful in
assessing the imagery and identity of a nineteenth-century American
travel lecturer and author. It uncovers buried aspects of the
personal and public life of Stoddard, and reveals his significant
contributions to American political and social history.
