Description

Explore the wider culture of educational travel through Complete Gentlemen. This study by Ansell moves beyond the traditional Italian Grand Tour to examine how British and Irish landowners engaged with continental Europe between 1650 and 1750. By reconstructing dozens of historical encounters, the book reveals how different family ambitions and obligations shaped unique travel experiences. Unlike other historical accounts that focus only on time spent abroad, this work examines the full scope of the journey. It looks at what families planned and how they acted before, after, and instead of traveling. This approach provides a deeper understanding of how educational travel functioned as a strategy for British families during this period. This volume is part of the respected British Academy Monographs series, published by Oxford University Press, making it an essential resource for those interested in British history and the social customs of the 17th and 18th centuries.
