Travel and the British country house explores the ways in which
travel by owners, visitors and material objects shaped country
houses during the long eighteenth century. It provides a richer and
more nuanced understanding of this relationship, and how it varied
according to the identity of the traveller and the geography of
their journeys. The essays explore how travel on the Grand Tour,
and further afield, formed an inspiration to build or remodel
houses and gardens; the importance of country house visiting in
shaping taste amongst British and European elites, and the
practical aspects of travel, including the expenditure involved.
Suitable for a scholarly audience, including postgraduate and
undergraduate students, but also accessible to the general reader,
Travel and the British country house offers a series of fascinating
studies of the country house that serve to animate the country
house with flows of people, goods and ideas. -- .
