This literary, cultural history examines imperial Russian tourism's
entanglement in the vexed issue of cosmopolitanism understood as
receptiveness to the foreign and pitted against provinciality and
nationalist anxiety about the allure and the influence of Western
Europe. The study maps the shift from Enlightenment cosmopolitanism
to Byronic cosmopolitanism with special attention to the art
pilgrimage abroad. For typically middle-class Russians daunted by
the cultural riches of the West, vacationing in the North Caucasus,
Georgia, and the Crimea afforded the compensatory opportunity to
play colonizer kings and queens in "Asia." Drawing on Anna Karenina
and other literary classics, travel writing, journalism, and
guidebooks, the investigation engages with current debates in
cosmopolitan studies, including the fuzzy paradigm of "colonial
cosmopolitanism.
