Biography

Background

Tess Goodman holds an M.A. in English from the University of Virginia. Her master's thesis, "A Journey with a View," focused on E. M. Forster's reaction to (and against) aesthetic tourism and the quest for the picturesque. Concurrently with her master's program, she curated an exhibition titled "Books That Take Us Lands Away: Tourism and Print Culture in the Nineteenth Century" at Rare Book School at the University of Virginia. Tess's doctoral research, supervised by Dr Tom Mole, focuses on the production, circulation, and use of souvenir books and prints in nineteenth-century Scotland, in order to understand how tourists relied on books to record intangible experiences and, later, to recall memories of their travels. With Dr. Mole, she recently co-curated an exhibition at the Wordworth Trust titled "Photographing Wordsworth Country."
