  • Grasmere & the Central Lake District
    © Lonely Planet Publications 84 Grasmere & the Central Lake District The broad green bowl of Grasmere acts as a kind of geographical junction for the Lake District, sandwiched between the rumpled peaks of the Langdale Pikes to the west and the gentle hummocks and open dales of the eastern fells. But Grasmere is more than just a geological centre – it’s a literary one too thanks to the poetic efforts of William Wordsworth and chums, who collectively set up home in Grasmere during the late 18th century and transformed the valley into the spiritual hub of the Romantic movement. It’s not too hard to see what drew so many poets, painters and thinkers to this idyllic corner LAKE DISTRICT LAKE DISTRICT of England. Grasmere is one of the most naturally alluring of the Lakeland valleys, studded with oak woods and glittering lakes, carpeted with flower-filled meadows, and ringed by a GRASMERE & THE CENTRAL GRASMERE & THE CENTRAL stunning circlet of fells including Loughrigg, Silver Howe and the sculptured summit of Helm Crag. Wordsworth spent countless hours wandering the hills and trails around the valley, and the area is dotted with literary landmarks connected to the poet and his contemporaries, as well as boasting the nation’s foremost museum devoted to the Romantic movement. But it’s not solely a place for bookworms: Grasmere is also the gateway to the hallowed hiking valleys of Great and Little Langdale, home to some of the cut-and-dried classics of Lakeland walking as well as one of the country’s most historic hiking inns.

Coleridge », Les Grandes figures historiques dans les lettres et les arts [en ligne], n° 10 (2021), URL : http://figures-historiques.revue.univ-lille.fr/10-2021- ISSN-2261-0871/ Kimberley Page-Jones Université de Bretagne Occidentale, HCTI (EA4249) Writing from Hamburg: The Encounter with Foreignness in the Writings of Mary Wollstonecraft and S.T. Coleridge This paper intends to examine the travel writings of a few late eighteenth-century travellers to northern Europe, with a closer look at those of Mary Wollstonecraft and S.T. Coleridge who journeyed to Germany and Scandinavia at the end of the eighteenth century (1795 and 1798) as the routes to France and Italy were made increasingly perilous. Mary Wollstonecraft’s public letters to her lover Imlay recounting her 1795 journey were well known even in her own days; less so, the narrative of Samuel Taylor Coleridge who travelled with William and Dorothy Wordsworth to Germany three years later, in September 1798. One simple reason for that: Coleridge’s travel account was not published following his journey as it would be expected from a travel writer. Coleridge recorded his travel experience in a notebook and a very large journal, extracts of which he then used in his letters to Tom Poole and Sara, his wife. His journal, unpublished and currently held in the Berg Collection at the New York Public Library, is composed of a travelogue recounting his sea journey from Yarmouth to Hamburg and ten letters to Tom Poole and Sara Coleridge, written from September 18, 1798 to May 17, 1799.

  • William Wordsworth and the Invention of Tourism, 1820–1900
    212 Book Reviews 最後に、何はともあれ、ワーズワスに関するミニ百科事典とも言うべき 『ワーズワス評伝』は一読に値する大著であることに間違いはない。 （安田女子大学教授） Saeko Yoshikawa William Wordsworth and the Invention of Tourism, 1820–1900 (Farnham: Ashgate, 2014. 156 × 234mm. xii + 268 pp. £65) Ichiro Koguchi Tourism is not just an embodiment of the natural human desire for move- ment and fresh experience. As Saeko Yoshikawa’s William Wordsworth and the Invention of Tourism, 1820–1900 has demonstrated, it is a set of culturally charged practices, mediated in particular by the act of reading. Grounded in this conviction, this study has explored — by referring to an impressive range of primary sources — how William Wordsworth’s poetry helped to invent a new form of tourism, and, through this process, how the notion of “Wordsworth’s Lake District” came into existence. The book also suggests that the emergence of such tourism was related to the critical re-evaluation of Wordsworth’s work in the late nineteenth century. Tourism has expanded throughout modern times. The grand tour fl our- ished from the mid-seventeenth century, and in the next century, picturesque travel came into vogue. With the development of the mail coach system, fol- lowed by the advent of the railway, tourism became universalised in the nine- teenth century, becoming available to almost any class and social group. Historically situated amid these periods, Romanticism was closely related to tourism, both domestic and across national borders. A number of schol- ars have turned to travelogues and other travel literature written in the Ro- mantic age, delving into the cultural-literary implications of journeys made by writers. Curiously however, literary tourism, i.e.
