‘Delightful ... Lucy Lethbridge has written a glorious romp of a book’ - Kathryn Hughes, The Mail on Sunday
In this book, the voices of 19th-century travelers - confused, shocked, excited, and amazed - come to life. Lucy Lethbridge marvelously examines two centuries of tourism experiences, focusing on various characters, from the commercial giants of Victorian tourism to Vladimir Raitz, the creator of modern beach holidays.
The development of popular tourism introduced new markets in travel guides, souvenirs, and cuisine, highlighting social differences while maintaining traditional cultures. The book explores how tourism has reflected changing attitudes toward modern life and how holidays abroad reveal deep fears, hopes, and nostalgia for home.
