ABSTRACT

This chapter focuses on the travels, between 1895 and 1945, of one wealthy Quaker family the Foxes. It presents an analysis of three key themes contained in the Fox family travel narratives: first, the different reasons for travelling and for visiting particular places. Second, the influence of transport technology on their travels and third, pictorial images and memorabilia used either alongside or replacing the written narrative to enrich the impressions of spaces, places and people. Members of the family embraced other cultures for varying periods of time and in so doing added a new dimension to their lives. Their travel narratives include itinerary travelogues, specific motoring records and chorographic writing, while a wealth of images and text creates a kaleidoscope of spaces, places and people. The rich diversity of these textual and visual travel narratives, vividly recorded, adds a different, domestic dimension to the early genre of travel writing.
