First published in 1985, this is a history of the Grand Tour,
undertaken by young men in the eighteenth century to complete their
education - a tour usually to France, Italy and Switzerland, and
sometimes encompassing Germany. Rather than being another popular
treatment of the theme, this is a scholarly analysis of the
motives, purposes, activities and achievements of those who made
the Grand Tour. The book considers to what extent the Grand Tour
did fulfil its theoretical educational function, or whether
travellers merely parroted the observations of their guidebooks. It
also indicates the importance of the Grand Tour in introducing
foreign customs into Britain and extending the cosmopolitanism of
the European upper classes.
