Description
Abstract (cited)
As the Welsh mountains supplied iconic national landscapes and became sites of popular recreation in the mid-Victorian period, the Pen-y-Gwryd Inn in Snowdonia became a famous resting place for travellers. Its visitors' book was as storied as the hostelry itself. Analyses of its place in popular imagination illuminate diverse uses of the book, evaluations of its contents and the ambivalence that attended the often derided 'inn literature' that at once captivated and repelled critics, readers and inscribers. The visitors' book illuminates intersections of tourism, recreation, literary practices and book history. The rural Welsh inn – and Pen-y-Gwryd in particular – played a disproportionate part in this development.
