Abstract This article addresses a gap in travel writing scholarship between studies of eighteenth century Grand Tourists and of Victorian day trippers. Its focus is on Yorkshire men and women from the middling ranks and professional classes who created tour journals, letters, and paintings recording tours of Scotland between 1796 and 1811. Five case studies carefully contextualise these historical sources within the reading, writing, record-keeping, and travel practices of their families. In doing so I demonstrate that studying these documents offers valuable insights and, when they are considered together, highlights how travel (and recording travel experiences) contributed to a sense of an emerging middle-class identity.

约克郡游客：格鲁吉亚英国中产阶级旅行的开始

摘要 本文解决了对 18 世纪大游客和维多利亚一日游者的研究之间旅行写作奖学金的差距。它的重点是约克郡的中产阶级和专业阶层的男女，他们创作了 1796 年至 1811 年间记录苏格兰之旅的旅游期刊、信件和绘画。五个案例研究在阅读、写作和记录保存中仔细地将这些历史资源置于背景，以及他们家人的旅行习惯。在这样做时，我证明研究这些文件提供了宝贵的见解，并且当它们一起考虑时，突出了旅行（和记录旅行经历）如何促进新兴中产阶级身份感。
