In the early modern period, the population of England travelled
more than is often now thought, by road and by water: from members
of the gentry travelling for pleasure, through the activities of
those involved in internal trade, to labourers migrating out of
necessity. Yet the commonly held view that people should know their
places, geographically as well as socially, made domestic travel
highly controversial. Andrew McRae examines the meanings of
mobility in the early modern period, drawing on sources from
canonical literature and travel narratives to a range of historical
documents including maps and travel guides. He identifies the
relationship between domestic travel and the emergence of vital new
models of nationhood and identity. An original contribution to the
study of early modern literature as well as travel literature, this
interdisciplinary book opens up domestic travel as a vital and
previously underexplored area of research.
