»British Travels to Germany«: The volume collects historical and literary scholarship on British travels to Germany, mainly since the nineteenth century. It examines representations of Germany in the Victorian popular press and in the contemporary TV travel documentary, as well as reflections by British writers on their experiences of Germany and the Germans.
