Constructing Cultural Tourism: John Ruskin and the Tourist Gaze(Tourism and Cultural Change)

Series: Tourism and Cultural Change

Focusing on the formative influence of the works of John Ruskin in defining and developing cultural tourism, this book describes and assesses their effects on the 'tourist gaze' ('where to go and what to see', and how to see it) as directed at landscape, scenery, architecture and townscape, from the early Victorian period onwards.
