Literary Tourism and the British Isles: History, Imagination, and
the Politics of Place explores literary tourism's role in shaping
how locations in the British-Irish Isles have been seen,
historicized, and valued. Within its chapters, contributors
approach these topics from vantage points such as feminism,
cultural studies, geographic and mobilities paradigms, rural
studies, ecosystems, philosophy of history, dark tourism, and
marketing analyses. They examine guidebooks and travelogues; oral
history, pseudo-history, and absent history; and literature that
spans Renaissance drama to contemporary popular writers such as Dan
Brown, Diana Gabaldon, and J.K. Rowling. Places discussed in the
collection include "the West;" Wordsworth Country and Bronte
Country; Stowe and Scotland; the Globe Theatre and its environs;
Limehouse, Rosslyn Chapel, and the imaginary locations of the Harry
Potter series. Taken as a whole, this collection illuminates some
of the ways by which "the British Isles" have been created by
literary and historical narratives, and, in turn, will continue to
be seen as places of cultural importance by visitors, guidebooks,
and site sponsors alike.
