A peculiarly British view of the British abroad: an enduring tradition of comic success and tragic failure
| Resumo: | This chapter is the first part of a larger joint project which aims to look at portraits of the British abroad in Punch Magazine and The Spectator between 1850 and 1939. As an initial study, this paper will begin with a general look at the popular conceptions of the figure of the British tourist and then focus on the particular representation of the British tourist abroad as depicted in one time Punch editor, F.C. Burnand’s, fictional portrait of the ‘Boompje Club’ in his 1890 publication Very Much Abroad. |
