Produktbeschreibung

Travel in early-modern Europe is frequently represented as synonymous with the institution of the Grand Tour, a journey undertaken by elite young males from northern Europe to the centres of the arts and antiquity in Italy. This volume builds upon recent research that pushes beyond this narrow orthodoxy and which decentres Italy as the ultimate destination of European travellers. Instead it explores a much broader pattern of travel, undertaken by people of varied backgrounds and with divergent motives for travelling. The book represents an important contribution to the ongoing process of resituating the "Grand Tour" as part of a wider context of travel and topographical writing.
