“Irish Cultures of Travel introduces readers to a wealth of original, primary research that nuances how we classify British travel writing in the long nineteenth century. It is therefore crucial reading not only to Irish cultural and literary historians, but also to a wider range of nineteenth-century travel writing scholars for its innovative methodologies and fruitful intersections.” (Rebecca Butler, Studies in Travel Writing, Vol. 22 (3), 2018)“This book is an important contribution to the study of the massification of tourism at a time of technological, infrastructural, and social change in Irish society. Charting a range of European destinations, Ingelbien expertly highlights increased Irish participation in the modern phenomenon of democratized travel and the emergence of a new constituency of tourists that results in evolving strategies for Irish travel.” (Anne O'Connor, Journeys, Vol. 19 (01), June, 2018)“The reach of Ingelbien’s research is impressive, and includes a welcome discussion of Irish women travellers, such as the antiquarian Margaret Stokes, within its brief. … Raphael Ingelbien’s deft and elegant study offers a lively evocation of pre-independence Irish tourist culture, and within that, an informed and timely portrait of nineteenth-century Ireland’s assertive and mobile middle class.” (Eve Patten, Review of Irish Studies in Europe – RISE, Vol. 2 (1-4), March, 2018)“This is a well-researched and persuasive book. It is well placed within the historiography on travel and tourism and is a useful contribution to that field. … a well-written book, which demonstrates sound scholarship and makes thought-provoking contributions to several discussions within the historiography of Irish studies and the history of tourism and travel.” (Katherine Haldane Grenier, Victorian Studies, Vol. 60 (03), 2018)“Ingelbien provides an illuminating chronicle of Ireland’s relationship to travel, charting it through Irish prescriptions of religion, nationalism, feminism and recreation. What this book ultimately presents is an intriguing account of Ireland’s search for identity, seeking out the exotic in order to ‘see Ireland first’.” (Louisa Carroll, Books Ireland, Issue 374, August, 2017)“Raphaël Ingelbien’s Irish Cultures of Travel: Writing on the Continent, 1829-1914 is an engaging, highly readable, and frequently insightful treatment of a fascinating and hitherto neglected area of travel and tourism studies. … this highly readable book will be useful for students and a pleasure for scholars as well as general readers whose interests include travel, Irish studies, or even post-colonialism generally.” (Donald I. Ulin, breac, breac.nd.edu, June, 2017)
