The journey to Switzerland, an attraction that emerged with the changed perception of nature in the 18th century, became a mass tourism phenomenon with the expansion of transportation means and routes since the 19th century. In what ways were local artists influenced by the influx of foreigners? Did they adopt their perspective, emphasize critical points, or remain indifferent? Did they see themselves as promoters of tourism or warn against its harmful effects? How did tourism change the production and reception of the arts? Some of the contributions gathered in this volume provide overviews, while others explore these questions through selected examples from literature, visual arts, and music. Works and texts of varying aesthetic levels are analyzed, in which the engagement with the modern is examined.
