Description

First published in 1985, this scholarly work examines the Grand Tour undertaken by young men in the eighteenth century as part of their education, typically spanning France, Italy, Switzerland, and sometimes Germany. Rather than offering a popular narrative, the book provides an in-depth analysis of the motives, purposes, activities and achievements of those who embarked on these journeys. It critically evaluates whether the Grand Tour truly fulfilled its educational function or if travellers simply repeated observations from their guidebooks, offering historians and scholars a rigorous examination of this formative cultural practice and its lasting impact on British society and intellectual development.

Key Features

The British and the Grand Tour explores the educational motivations behind eighteenth-century travels across France, Italy, Switzerland and Germany undertaken by young men.

This Routledge Revivals edition presents a scholarly rather than popular treatment of the Grand Tour, analysing travellers' actual achievements versus guidebook repetition.

The book examines whether the Grand Tour fulfilled its theoretical educational function or served other purposes in shaping British intellectual and cultural development.
