Doing History on Vacation
has obtained those things which are necessary life, he should not sacrifice more of his time and energy to obtain the superfluities but rather adventure on life now, his from humbler toil having commenced. Work time, Thoreau goes on, is like the time a plant spends making roots; time is the time it devotes shoot[ing] upward.' The quotation is only a little misleading. In advocating vacations, Thoreau was not thinking of conventional family visits…
Going Abroad
In a nation struggling to establish its own identity, all kinds of Americans, for all kinds of reasons, were enchanted with Europe. A European trip, whether extravagant or modest, could serve social advancement, aesthetic enrichment, or personal curiosity. Travel allowed men and women, the descendants of European settlers or African slaves, to shed their familiar surroundings and comfortable personas, adopt new roles, and measure themselves again…

Henry Adams, Traveler
RAVEL has always been a seductive, and a slightly irresponsible, activity. In exchange for privileged positions as onlookers, appreciators, and critics, travelers give up their connection with the life around them, becoming passive spectators who can neither claim credit nor accept responsibility for the scenes they observe. The consequences of this bargain are particularly striking for those genteel nineteenth-century American men who turned the…

Like other nineteenth-century writers, however, she was attracted by the marketability of travel writing and found that its loose conventions provided an excellent framework for her own eclectic style and multiple purposes. Her travel narratives…
