在世纪的过程中，默里手册成为一种独特的文化和受过教育的欧洲大陆旅行方式的形成因素，并被英国中产阶级接受，不仅作为指南，而且作为旅游实践的典范：除了提供有关景点和旅游基础设施的最新和准确的信息外，手册的核心内容是让游客在现场阅读正确的东西，这不仅意味着阅读可以联系主题的东西，而且还意味着认为有文化价值和美学熏陶的东西。本文将分析文学参考在默里的意大利手册中的作用，特别是他们对拜伦作品和人物的使用，最后是游客在默里的帮助下，在意大利旅行中吸收和表演拜伦经历和姿势的方式。默里对拜伦的大量使用不仅像詹姆斯·布扎德所说的那样，在新兴的大众旅游时代为游客提供了一种有文化的、精英主义的、反旅游的姿态，而且还把意大利当作英国浪漫主义的产物来占有、熟悉和推销。
In the course of the nineteenth century, the Murray handbooks became formative for a distinctive way of cultured and educated travelling to the Continent, and were embraced by the British middle class not only as guidebooks but also as models for tourist practice: next to giving up-to-date and precise information about sites and the tourist infrastructure, a central concern of the handbooks was making tourists read the right thing on the spot, which not only meant reading what could be associated thematically, but also what was considered as being culturally valuable and aesthetically edifying. This paper will analyse the function of literary references in Murray’s Italian handbooks,1 particularly their use of Byron’s works and persona, and finally the ways in which tourists, largely with the help of Murray, absorbed and performed Byronic experiences and poses on their Italian travels. Murray’s extensive use of Byron not only provided tourists with cultured, elitist, anti-touristic gestures in the emerging age of mass tourism, as James Buzard has claimed, but also appropriated, familiarised and marketed Italy as a product of English Romanticism.
