The dust jacket reads: "As Ian Littlewood demonstrates here with dazzling elegance and wit, if we want to make sense of the celebrated "Grand Tour" of centuries past, for example, it's as important to take account of travelers' visits to Dresden streetwalkers and Venetian courtesans as it is to reckon with their visits to the Dresden picture gallery and the Doge's Palace. To understand the Victorian passion for the Mediterranean, we need to be aware of Greek and Italian attractions that extended far begond the historical. From Byron in Greece to Isherwood in Germany, from American expatriates on the Left Bank to Orton in Morocco and right up to the present day, what emerges from these experiences is a continuing motif of tourism, previously neglected or ignored, that comes into full view only with the twentieth century's cult of the sun. Suffice it to say that after reading Sultry Climates, you'll never look at tourists in quite the same way again."
