'The tensions between travel and tourism, the authentic local and the stereotype, art and kitsch, are examined perceptively throughout, presenting a persuasive case for the critical and contemplative value of place... this exploration of the ways in which travel shaped the burgeoning consciousness of cultural difference within the modernist movement is a worthy addition to the crowded field of modernist studies.' Times Literary Supplement Robert Burden insightfully highlights several key elements that help to define the parameters of this field of study...Burden has written an advantageously eclectic study that will be of use for students of travel literature, modernist literature, and British and American culture, as well as for readers particularly interested in Conrad, Forster, Lawrence, James, and Wharton. David Deutsch, University of Alabama, English Literature in Transition 1990-1920, 59:3
