Off Shore

More about the book

Tourist crossings of the Atlantic have intrigued generations of travellers since the 19th century. In this collection the authors explore this fascination from the perspectives of art, literature, and history. They contribute to the knowledge of tourist Atlantic crossings by demonstrating how those experiences have been influenced practices as well as expectations. At the same time they indicate the pertinence of tourism by showing how non-tourist travellers like soldiers adapted tourist practices.
