ReviewsA splendid account of early Irish tourism& This ground-breaking study shows why places such as Killarney and the Giant’s Causeway, as well as lesser-known Irish sites, should occupy a central place in tourism history. -Kevin J. James, Associate Professor, Department of History, University of Guelph, Ontario, Canada, 'A survey that brings historical detail, literary analysis and the wider cultural context wonderfully together&an admirably clear, concise and informative read.' -Glenn Hooper, Research Fellow, Open University, UK, and author of ‘Travel Writing and Ireland, 1760-1860’, 'Meticulously researched and elegantly written& It would be difficult to underestimate the work’s importance for any serious student of Irish history and culture or indeed for anyone with an interest in the birth of tourism as a global phenomenon.' -Michael Cronin, Director of the Centre for Translation and Textual Studies, Dublin City University, Ireland

SynopsisBased on the accounts of British and Anglo-Irish travelers, 'Creating Irish Tourism' charts the development of tourism in Ireland from its origins in the mid-eighteenth century to the country's emergence as a major European tourist destination a century later., Based on the accounts of British and Anglo-Irish travelers, 'Creating Irish Tourism' charts the development of tourism in Ireland from its origins in the mid-eighteenth century to the country's emergence as a major European tourist destination a century later. The work shows how the Irish tourist experience evolved out of the interactions among travel writers, landlords, and visitors with the peasants who, as guides, jarvies, venders, porters and beggars, were as much a part of Irish tourism as the scenery itself.
