The University of Chicago Press:

Freud’s Couch, Scott’s Buttocks, Brontë’s Grave
If you have toured the home of a famed writer, seen the desk at which they worked, or visted their grave, you are a literary pilgrim, partaking in a form of tourism first popular in the Victorian era. In our free e-book for March Simon Goldhill makes a pilgrimage to Sir Walter Scott’s baronial mansion, Wordsworth’s cottage in the Lake District, the Brontë parsonage, Shakespeare’s birthplace, and Freud’s office in Hampstead. He gamely negotiates distractions ranging from broken bicycles to a flock of giggling Japanese schoolgirls, as he tries to discern what our forebears were looking for at these sites, as well as what they have to say to the modern pilgrim. Take your literary pilgrimage in our free e-book, "Freud’s Couch, Scott’s Buttocks, Brontë’s Grave"
