Abstract
By addressing the shared formal, aesthetic, affective, and political characteristics of the industrial travel account, this article examines how travel writers in the nineteenth century mediate the tensions within and between extractive labour, tourism, and ecological relations. Focusing on industrial travel accounts published in The Leisure Hour (1852–1905), Chambers’s Edinburgh Journal (1832–1897) and All the Year Round (1859–1895), the article highlights the periodical press as a productive arena for the cultural and literary study of nineteenth-century energy regimes.
