Traveling Europe between the World Wars is a study of armchair travel writers who journeyed to Europe during the interwar period of 19191939. They traveled the continent for two main reasons: to chronicle the political and social upheavals of the age through encounters with ordinary Europeans and to revel in the legendary, idyllic Europe of their earthly dreams. As post-World War I traumas, the Great Depression, and the sudden rise of fascist and communist ideologies wracked the continent, the writers were struck by how many people felt another world war was inevitable. This study focuses on travel conversations writers experienced on trains, along roadsides, or in cafs, homes, and inns as they sought the real Europe stripped of press reports and government propaganda. What they found was a continent in transitionwhere a cherished past was colliding with an ominous future.
