It begins by presenting literary festivals in the context of literary tourism before going on to consider a number of theoretical approaches that could be employed in the attempt to further understand how learning forms part of the experience of attending literary festivals. Individual cultural capital acquisition among literary festival attendees are then examined. Key among the questions posed are whether people enhance their cultural knowledge and skills by participating in literary festivals and whether literary festivals are rewarding and fulfilling experiences that lead to personal self-improvement. Empirically, findings of an exploratory study focusing on tourist audiences attending two book festivals in Dublin, Ireland, are reported.","PeriodicalId":424935,"journal":{"name":"Literary tourism: theories, practice and case studies","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126292500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter starts by introducing Thorbergur and providing a glimpse into his personality, with an emphasis on his accounts, factual and fictional, about the walk. The chapter then examines how, in 2012, a group of seven walkers attempted to retrace his steps and how his presence directed the walk and shaped atmospheres.
