Description

An account of the effect of Civil War on travel and the evolution of the Grand Tour, featuring new discoveries on Milton, Inigo Jones, the collector Earl of Arundel, Hobbes, Nicholas Lanier, George Gage, Tobie Matthew and many others...

First Sentence

If one includes Rome and Naples as essential ingredients in a Grand Tour itinerary, as by eighteenth-century definitions one clearly should, then it was only after 1630, following the peace treaties with France and Spain that the British version of the Gradn Tour can be said to have taken shape.
