Authoritative yet accessible, this is the first-ever comprehensive
account of a true landmark in eighteenth-century travel writing.
Daniel Defoe's Tour thro' the Whole Island of Great Britain is
constantly cited even now by students in practically every branch
of history, and there are few topics essential to our understanding
of the nation in the early modern period that do not show up in its
pages. Historians since the late nineteenth century have looked to
the Tour as one of the richest and most insightful works describing
Britain in the lead-up to the Industrial Revolution, and critics
and biographers of Defoe have regularly named it as among his most
characteristic and central works. Indispensable for virtually any
interdisciplinary approach to the nation in this period, this new
study provides wide-reaching, up-to-date analysis of the content of
the Tour, and of its methods, sources, form, and vast historical
significance.
