Description

Explore the history of domestic travel with The Discovery of Britain (Routledge Revivals): The English Tourists 1540-1840. Originally published in 1964, this academic work shifts the focus away from foreign visitors or British travelers abroad. Instead, it examines the unique phenomenon of British people exploring their own native land. Over three centuries, traveling through the English landscape became a popular pastime for gentlemen of leisure. This book tracks those journeys from 1540 to 1840, providing a detailed look at how the landscape changed over time. Readers will learn about the personal experiences of these early travelers, covering both the pleasure they found in discovery and the various hardships they faced while on the road. This Routledge Revival edition is an essential resource for those interested in historical architecture, landscape evolution, and the social history of British travel. It offers a deep look into how people interacted with their environment during a transformative period in history.
