The Oxford Handbook of Tourism History provides an essential reference resource that consolidates innovative research into the history of tourism while mapping new trajectories that embrace scholars working in a variety of national contexts. The collection's original essays give advanced students, instructors, and researchers an overview of the field as it exists today and chart a course forward -- particularly as regards the nascent histories of various "niche" tourism practices, which have yet to receive adequate historical analysis. The handbook showcases what we now know and highlights what we do not, serving as a necessary starting point for those anxious to craft the future history of tourism. Moreover, it offers coherence to the exploration of tourism historiography by offering readers a resource in which a common set of axes of analysis -- specifically nationhood, sexuality, race, gender and class -- are systematically explored across a wide expanse of time and space in discrete engagements with core themes in tourism history.

This book is a multi-disciplinary exploration of Jacobitism and its cultural legacy. Chapters in the book examine the early history of the Jacobite movement, analysing how adherents of the Stuart cause used new and existing networks of ideas, people, goods and activities to promote and circulate their ideas. Engaging with media and nineteenth-century literary networks, the book considers the ways Jacobitism itself became an object of interest within a range of disciplines, including antiquarianism, song collection and literature. Chapters on Jacobitism and networks of modern cultural memory reflect on twentieth-century popular cultural representations of Jacobites. They demonstrate innovative opportunities to engage with the subject matter of Jacobitism in the present day through transnational collaboration and digital humanities. The book presents important new multi-national and multi-lingual perspectives on Jacobite Studies and the persistence of cultural engagement with the Jacobites.

Offers an interdisciplinary perspective on the material forms and cultural iconographies of the hotel. This book surveys current writing on the history of the modern hotel, focusing on three areas of vibrant and timely scholarly enquiry: the uniqueness of the American hotel, the contested status of the colonial and postcolonial hotel, and the hotel’s embroilment in violent conflict. It explores the hotel as an institution that incubates innovation, enables commercial relations on a variety of scales, and supplies an arena for negotiating relations of political, cultural, and economic power.The volume presents a number of case studies, including the hotel in wartime and as a terrorist target, and critically engages with innovative scholarship that links the relationship of the hotel to wider narratives of Western modernity. It is aimed at tourism studies scholars, as well as history and critical and applied tourism studies students, at undergraduate and graduate levels.
