Book Synopsis
Romantic novelists Ann Radcliffe, Sir Walter Scott, and Mary Shelley were keen tourists and influential contributors to the discourse of Romantic tourism. The shaping power of this discourse affected not only what they saw and felt on tour but also how they imagined their greatest novels. This is a study of these two cultural innovations.
