- Description: Henry James was an American-born author who later became a naturalized British subject, known for his insightful literary travel writing. In 1882 he embarked on a provincial tour of France, avoiding Paris in favor of smaller towns; these articles, originally published under En Province (1883–84) in The Atlantic Monthly, were later collected in A Little Tour in France (1884) and extensively revised in the 1900 illustrated edition with artwork by Joseph Pennell. Covering places like Tours, Bourges, Toulouse, Arles, and Avignon, James explores architecture, history, local society, and cultural heritage. He famously asserted, "France may be Paris, but Paris is not France"

- Description: Jerome K. Jerome was an English humorist famed for Three Men in a Boat (1889), a fictionalized but autobiographical account of a leisurely two-week boating holiday on the Thames. Originally meant as a travel guide, the comic episodes overshadowed serious intent, giving rise to one of the most beloved travel comedy books. In 1891 he authored Diary of a Pilgrimage, chronicling a journey from London to Germany to attend the Oberammergau Passion Play. Witty essays on luggage dilemmas, seasickness, German beds, and local encounters layer the tiny travelogue with charm and gentle satire
