Recenzii
Booth proves herself an insightful and erudite travelling companion for her readers. The sum total of her expeditions is a distinctive, perceptive, and fascinating book-a valuable contribution to a burgeoning field of interdisciplinary study.
Booth's journeys to the homes and haunts of nineteenth-century authors illuminate the significance of an often over-looked and undervalued kinetic mode of literary reception that continues to impact literary studies in the twenty-first century, and in the process unseats simplistic distinctions between academic and amateur engagement with authors in place.
Booth tracks the growth of literary tourism as a middle-class, aspirational form of travel, and teases out its relationship to nationalism and regionalism as well as its reliance on nineteenth-century ideologies of genius, domesticity, and privacy.
Booth's detailed description and reappraisal of the neglected genre is original ... Written for a broad audience in a communal voice, with engaging narration that mixes intimacy and distance, topo-biography is proposed, half-seriously, as a model for narrowing the gap between highbrow and middlebrow.
