Issues to Consider

Some issues to consider:

  • Influence of museums enshrining authors
  • Economic dependence of small towns on literary tourism
  • Economic impact of literary tourism in cities
  • Gift shops’ role marketing authors
  • Authentic versus restored or modernized
  • Entertainment versus education (how much does that parallel tension apparent in literary studies
  • Role of place/locale/geography in each novel/play/poem
  • Ways authors use place/locale/geography to set tone and provide imagery
  • Ways place/locale/geography shapes narrative
  • Ways author borrowed from or changed locale
