Description

First published in 1964, this Routledge revival examines three centuries of British domestic tourism from 1540 to 1840, focusing on how gentlemen of leisure explored their native land. The book captures both the pleasures and hardships of these journeys, tracing the evolution of travel practices and the changing English landscape across this transformative period. Rather than addressing foreign visitors to Britain or British travellers abroad, it concentrates exclusively on the domestic discovery movement that became increasingly popular amongst the leisure classes. Through detailed historical analysis, the work reveals how British people came to view their own country as a destination worthy of extended exploration, documenting the cultural and practical aspects of tourism during an era when such travels could last weeks or even months.

Key Features

The Discovery of Britain provides a unique historical perspective on domestic tourism, examining three centuries of British leisure travel from 1540 to 1840 with detailed primary source analysis.

This Routledge Revivals edition restores a classic 1964 publication that traces how the English landscape changed and evolved across the period of increasing domestic exploration.

The book documents both the pleasures and hardships experienced by gentlemen travellers, offering authentic insight into the practical realities of extended journeys across Britain.

Focus on British people exploring their native land distinguishes this work from typical travel histories, making it essential for understanding domestic tourism development in early modern and Georgian England.
