Description
From Page to Place explores how Americans have taken up literary tourism, tracing the histories of sites and practices associated with it. This investigation draws on the perspectives of scholars, historians, tour guides, and collectors.
The essays examine the rituals surrounding literary tourism and how readers consume popular literature through touristic endeavors. A diverse range of contributors sheds new light on this form of tourism, which has existed in the US since at least the early nineteenth century.
