Travel Writing and Ireland, 1760-1860 - Culture, History, Politics

Informationen zum Autor GLENN HOOPER is a Lecturer in the Department of English, Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, Republic of Ireland. Klappentext Travel Writing and Ireland, 1760-1860 examines a range of mainly British travel and travel-writing material from the period 1760 to 1860. Beginning with an analysis of the Home Tour and Ireland's function within it, the book then considers the role of the Post-Union traveller, followed by an analysis of the impressions formed by Famine writers; the book then concludes with an assessment of those who journeyed to Ireland in the immediate aftermath of Famine. Following a chronological structure, Travel Writing and Ireland, 1760-1860 offers readings of hitherto under-researched material from a significant period in Irish history.
