Pilgrim Pamphlets: Pocket Guides to Christian Tourism in Twentieth-Century Britain

Description

Book description from publisher's website: This volume brings together academic scholars and book industry practitioners to explore some key moments in the history of travel writing and publishing through the use of case studies about Britain or British travellers. The emphasis is on the production, distribution and consumption of print cultural artefacts and considers the social and cultural impact that printed ephemera had on particular audiences, dependent on time and place. The volume demonstrates that across a long chronological period, travel and tourism, and printing and publishing, are intimately bound together.
