At the heart of this book is a previously unpublished account of
Ben Jonson's celebrated walk from London to Edinburgh in the summer
of 1618. This unique firsthand narrative provides us with an
insight into where Jonson went, whom he met, and what he did on the
way. James Loxley, Anna Groundwater and Julie Sanders present a
clear, readable and fully annotated edition of the text. An
introduction and a series of contextual essays shed further light
on topics including the evidence of provenance and authorship,
Jonson's contacts throughout Britain, his celebrity status, and the
relationships between his 'foot voyage' and other famous journeys
of the time. The essays also illuminate wider issues, such as early
modern travel and political and cultural relations between England
and Scotland. It is an invaluable volume for scholars and
upper-level students of Ben Jonson studies, early modern
literature, seventeenth-century social history, and cultural
geography.
