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.
This collection explores global dystopic, grotesque and retold
narratives of degeneration, ecological and economic ruin, dystopia,
and inequality in contemporary fictions set in the urban space.
Divided into three sections-Identities and Histories, Ruin and
Residue, and Global Gothic-The New Urban Gothic explores our
anxieties and preoccupation with social inequalities, precarity and
the peripheral that are found in so many new fictions across
various media. Focusing on non-canonical Gothic global cities, this
distinctive collection discusses urban centres in England's Black
Country, Moscow, Detroit, Seoul, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore,
Dehli, Srinigar, Shanghai and Barcelona as well as cities of the
imaginary, the digital and the animated. This book will appeal to
anyone interested in the intersections of time, place, space and
media in contemporary Gothic Studies. The New Urban Gothic casts
reflections and shadows on the age of the Anthropocene.
