This is the first official English translation of Baedeker's "India", by Michael Wild, Baedeker historian. This title which originally appeared in only one (German-language) edition in 1914,casts a very interesting and fascinating light on colonial India, Ceylon, Burma etc. under British rule.

This is the ultimate guidebook for the Victorian Tourist. Seventy two tours of Great Britain from Scilly to Shetland described in detail for visitors at the end of the nineteenth century. The latter years of the Victorian era witnessed a massive expansion in the tourist industry. The advent of railways and better roads had, at last, made travel tolerable. For previous generations serious travel had been restricted to the Grand Tour, the gentle and cultured aristocratic exploration of Europe but now, at the end of the nineteenth century, we find that the intrigue of travel has become a fascination for the new middle classes. In 1890, apart from galleries, museums, a few zoos and the occasional glimpse of a stately home there were no 'attractions', so instead the early tourist visited Britain, all of it, delving into the character of the villages, market towns, cathedral cities and a countryside that had changed little for centuries. There is advice on money, travel, hotels etc., coloured maps, street plans and fold out maps of the entire railway network. If you seek out the old in your travels, whether for real or from the comfort of your armchair, this book remains perfectly valid.

During the final decades of the nineteenth century, a common mind-set emerged among many intellectuals―“la décadence.” Many novels and novellas of the period were populated with protagonists who were fragile, refined, self-absorbed, and preoccupied with a trivially exquisite aesthetic. A Baedeker of Decadence presents thirty-two international works of literary decadence written between 1884 and 1927. George C. Schoolfield, a world authority on the decadent novel, offers an entertaining and wide-ranging commentary on this highly significant literary and cultural phenomenon.Schoolfield tracks down the symptoms of decadence in narrative works written in more than a dozen languages, providing synopses and passages in English translation to give a sense of each author’s style and tone. Schoolfield throws new light on the close intellectual kinship of authors from August Strindberg to Bram Stoker to Thomas Mann, and on the ingredients, themes, motifs, and preconceptions that characterized decadent literature.
