The Discovery of Britain (Routledge Revivals) : The English Tourists 1540-1840 EPUB
by Esther Moir
Part of the Routledge Revivals series
EPUB
Description
First published in 1964, this book examines the Tour of Britain.
It focuses, neither on foreign tourists coming to Britain, nor on British tourists travelling abroad, but on British people exploring their native land in the three centuries from 1540 to 1840.
During this period, it became a popular pastime amongst gentlemen of leisure to travel for weeks, even months, in discovery of their own country and this book describes both the pleasure taken by tourists of Britain and the hardships they endured.
Tracking these journeys over three centuries, the book presents a changing English landscape, a changing economy, and a change in people’s tastes as the interests and concerns of the tourists evolve over the timeframe covered.
