Exploring the interplay of idleness and travel writing in the Victorian era, this book challenges the prevailing notions of industriousness and mechanization. It posits that certain writers viewed idleness as a radical path to re-subjectification and a reflection of late-Romantic sensibility. By examining a diverse range of travel texts from authors like Anna Mary Howitt, Jerome K. Jerome, and George Gissing, the work highlights the historical and literary connections between Romantic and Victorian ideologies, offering a fresh perspective on cultural studies and author biographies.
