John Cam Hobhouse's 1859 publication provides a detailed account of
his travels around Italy between 1816 and 1854. The two volumes
contain informative descriptions of the places, people and politics
of nineteenth-century Italy, and the reader will gain fascinating
insights into the close relationship between Hobhouse and Lord
Byron. Providing a mix of entertaining anecdotes and historical
information, the volumes explore 'a country now made accessible by
a few hours journey and familiar to us by every mode of
illustration', acquainting the Victorian traveller (and now the
modern reader) with the Italy 'of times long past'. Volume 2
focuses mainly on the churches, monuments, temples and ruins of
Ancient Rome.
