• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book is an interdisciplinary exploration of literary tourism's role in shaping how locations in the British and Irish Isles have been seen, narrated, and valued. It explores the consequences of fictional constructions for the history, economics, and cultural politics of place, and for the Britain internalized in the mind's eye.
