The first book-length critical analysis of its kind, Edith
Wharton's Travel Writing is an engaging study of Wharton's travel
writing as the embodiment of her connoisseurship. Wright reveals
how Wharton enacted a new dialectic of tourism by reconstituting
what Blake Nevius calls the 'aesthetic spectra' in her travel
texts. Wharton abandoned the examples set by American predecessors
such as Washington Irving and Nathaniel Hawthorne, who led the
'artless travelers' of her parents' day to lakes, waterfalls,
mountains, and ruins echoing sentimental legends and chose to
emulate John Ruskin's precise visual observation and Bernard
Berenson's scientific methods of appraisal.
