“…Like Bradbury, he also likens his academic travels to pilgrimages which include personal transformations beside academic achievements (Lodge, 1996). J. Russel Perkin (2008), in his essay called "The Pilgrimages of David Lodge" asserts that the several forms of pilgrimage in modern-day society have been a frequent focus in the novels of David Lodge, who is both a Roman Catholic and a deep viewer of postmodern culture. In his essay, he traces Lodge's use of the theme of pilgrimage, from his demonstration of old Catholic sacred expeditions in some of his novels to much more symbolic extensions of the notion of religious travel.…”

This study analyzes the characters of David Lodge's novel, Changing Places: A Tale of Two Campuses in the light of the philosophy of Existentialism. As Sartre has argued, the existence of a person comes before his essence. A person interprets this existence through external factors. Stripped of these factors, his/her existence constitutes his essence. Yet, the way of dealing with the external factors like social roles constitute his/her real essence. Hence, when stuck between these two essences, a person is likely to experience existential crisis. The characters who reflect these crises mostly appear in the novels written after 1950. With this study, the existential crises of the protagonists, their quests for identity and purpose as intellectuals are analyzed, and the novel, which was generally analyzed in terms of its parodical elements formerly, is reread with a different view. This analysis also sheds light on the situation of today's academic world.

“…In many of the literary tourism studies, 'literary pilgrim' term was used for tourists who travel to find the traces of the authors they admire and who have a motivation to visit the places where the authors live or work, to see the objects the authors used or to take a trip to the landscapes or settings in the writings of the authors for reliving them.

Although literary tourism is not a new concept, the academic research in this field has not been able to reach adequate level since it has not come to the forefront yet as a tourism type in many parts of the world. This study aims at examining literary tourism as a field of research and determining its situation within tourism studies through a literature review. 132 articles over the period 1997-2016 included in the study were analysed regarding the journals they were published, research methods, research areas, literary tourism types and research themes by using content analysis technique. Although the study found that literary tourism is a wide-range academic field with its eight types and its relations with many tourism types and other social sciences as an interdisciplinary field, it also revealed academic research is limited except many regions of Europe. Literary tourism studies demonstrate that literary tourism has high research potential as an academic field since the results of studies show that literary tourism research cannot be generalised and they can vary according to literary figures. The studies also point out that literary tourism provides numerous benefits to destinations when developed as a special interest tourism type.
