Complete Gentlemen is the first study to look beyond the Italian
Grand Tour to the wider culture of educational travel that thrived
among British and Irish landowners between 1650 and 1750. Ansell
reconstructs dozens of encounters with continental Europe,
revealing how the varying means, ambitions, and obligations of
families produced widely differing experiences of educational
travel. Where historians usually isolate time abroad, he pays
unprecedented attention to what families thought and did before,
after, and instead of foreign travel, stages that uncover its true
significance for British and Irish society. This innovative
approach requires a deep source base over several generations,
provided by the manuscript archives of four clusters of families
from England and Ireland. Ansell uses these archives to relate
travel, too often a stand-alone topic, to broader questions in
social and cultural history, exploring the meanings of time abroad
for social mobility, elite formation, landed identity, masculinity,
and Englishness.
