- This monograph of 223 pages and 91,000 words in length was researched and written over seven years. Research involved original scholarship at the British Library on rare trade periodicals and archival records relating to the emerging hotel industry in Britain in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and collection of data from a large number of primary texts to trace the occurrence of hotels in literature. The book draws on a wide range of interdisciplinary theoretical and analytical perspectives, and provides the first in-depth investigation of the hotel in the context of nineteenth and early twentieth-century literature, culture, and society.
