Additional Reading
Shelley Baranowski and Ellen Furlough (eds.), Being Elsewhere: Tourism, Consumer Culture, and Identity in Modern Europe and North America (2001), comprises a valuable collection of themed essays with a very helpful introduction; James Buzard, The Beaten Track (1993), introduces the important historical distinction between the ātravellerā and the ātouristā; and Gary Cross and John K. Walton, The Playful Crowd: Pleasure Places in the Twentieth Century (2005), considers a range of themes in the history of popular tourism through transatlantic comparisons. John Pemble, The Mediterranean Passion: Victorians and Edwardians in the South (1987), provides an excellent introduction to a key theme in tourism history. John Towner, An Historical Geography of Recreation and Tourism in the Western World, 1540ā1940 (1996), is rather descriptive and becoming dated but is still the best overall introduction to the subject, especially the Grand Tour. John Urry, Consuming Places (1995), is weak on historical understanding but conceptually very rich and stimulating and a major influence on the field.
