'Narratives are a key data source in geography and tourism studies because they provide insights into spatial imaginary, situated knowledge and positionality. From a critical reading of narratives, what matters is the particular way places, events and people are portrayed. This argument is made in this book through diverse historical and contemporary examples including: the historical experiences contain in personal diaries from the English Victorian period; travel journals kept by a English family over fifty years from 1895-1945; "holiday books" written by one English man over 60 years from 1937-1996; the tropes of travel narrative found in twentieth century opera; the representation of places by eighteenth and nineteenth century British novelists and travellers; and the ways in which tourism and nation are linked together in contemporary Palestine, Israel and Greece. This book provides an essential guide to studying narratives of travel and tourism and marks an exciting transformation in how scholars think through these narratives.'
