Hardcover. Zustand: As New. This is the first fully annotated old-spelling edition of the entire text of the autograph English journal of Robert Bargrave (1628-61), recording his extens ive travels as a merchant. This manuscript (now Bodleian Library MS Rawlinson C 799), describes four separate journeys made by Bargrave: his sea voyage from Eng land to Constantinople; an arduous return journey overland from Constantinople t o England, via Bulgaria, Romania, Poland, Germany, and the Low Countries; extens ive travels, for both commercial and cultural purposes, in Spain, Sicily, Italy and the Morea; and a return journey from Venice to Margate, via Trento, Innsbruc k, and Augsburg, including his visit to Heidelberg where he met the exiled Engli sh royalist community at the court of Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia. The introduct ion to the edition gives detailed consideration to the political, religious, and personal affiliations of the Bargraves, a prominent Kentish family, with specia l reference to their experiences of overseas travel. While abroad, Robert also t wice met up with his cousin, John Bargrave (c. 1610-80), the noted traveller and antiquarian. The introduction also provides an assessment of the historical, li terary, and geographical importance of Robert Bargrave's journey; a survey of hi s extensive musical and dramatic interests; and the first detailed account of th e provenances of both MS Rawlinson C 799 and now a lost earlier draft of this jo urnal, identified here as the Eastry Court Manuscript. The edition includes seve nteen illustrations, Bargrave family trees, and a selective bibliography of prim ary and secondary sources consulted.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. The Origins of the Grand Tour: The Travels of Robert Montagu, Lord Mandeville, 1649-1654; William Hammond, 1655-1658; Banaster Maynard, 1660-1663, Michael G. Brennan (Editor). Published by Hakluyt Society, London, 2004. Series III Volume 14. Large 8vo up to 9½" tall., 331., plates and illustrations. Bound in navy blue cloth with gilt spine titles and gilt medallion to front board. In fine, unread condition and housed in a fine jacket showing the lightest of edge wear to edges. Focusing upon three previously unpublished accounts of youthful English travellers in Western Europe (in contrast to the renowned but maturely retrospective memoirs of other seventeenth-century figures such as John Evelyn), this study reassesses the early origins of the cultural phenomenon known as the 'Grand Tour'. Usually denoted primarily as a post-Restoration and eighteenth-century activity, the basis of the long term English fascination with the 'Grand Tour' was firmly rooted in the mid-Tudor and early-Stuart periods. Such travels were usually prompted by one of three reasons: the practical needs of diplomacy, the aesthetic allure of cultural tourism, and the expediencies of political or religious exile. The outbreak of the English Civil War during the late-1640s acted as a powerful stimulus to this kind of travel for male members of both royalist and parliamentarian families, as a means of distancing them from the social upheavals back home as well as broadening their intellectual horizons. …
