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 Focusing upon three previously unpublished accounts of youthful English travellers in Western Europe (in contrast to the renowned but maturely retrospective memoirs of other seventeenth-century figures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. …

About the book >.>.> The Origins of the Grand Tour: the Travels of Robert Montagu, Lord Mandeville (1649-1654), William Hammond (1655-1658), and Banaster Maynard (1660-1663) presents previously unpublished accounts from three young English travellers in Western Europe, offering a fresh perspective on the early development of the cultural phenomenon known as the 'Grand Tour.' While often perceived as a post-Restoration activity, the fascination with the Grand Tour can be traced back to the mid-Tudor and early-Stuart periods. The book sheds light on how travel during these times was motivated by various factors, including diplomatic necessity, the allure of cultural exploration, and the exigencies of political or religious exile.The backdrop of the English Civil War in the late-1640s intensified travel among young men from both royalist and parliamentary families, enabling them to escape social upheaval and expand their intellectual horizons. This volume includes insightful editorial introductions that contextualise the experiences of Montagu, Hammond, and Maynard within the historical framework of their time. The authors utilise a variety of literary forms to document their journeys, including personal diaries, family letters, and formal prose narratives. Maynard's travels are particularly notable, as they were recorded by his servant, Robert Moody.By examining these diverse travel accounts, the book invites readers to reconsider the significance and interpretations of these texts, encouraging a broader understanding of early modern travel and its implications for English culture. Overall, this work enriches the discourse surrounding the Grand Tour and its origins, providing a nuanced view of how early travellers shaped cultural exchanges in Europe. (MP).…
