The Grand Tour of Europe

From the Anglo-American Relations lecture series.


The British relationship with Europe was not solely about war: it was also about culture, and social polish. In the period before the invention of the railways, travel for pleasure was largely the province of the wealthy. Most people travelled to Italy to see the ruins and to France for the social delights; others included Germany, whilst more intrepid souls also visited Greece. The eighteenth century was its heyday.
