Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of travel diaries written by Englishmen vacationing in Italy. The author engages with the English travelers to critically examine how the grand tour, a rite of passage for young Englishmen, has evolved into a fashionable popularity contest. The shallow experiences and affected connoisseurship of the travelers are satirized as they visit landmarks and interact with locals, thereby revealing how the true essence and historical significance of Italy has been lost on them. This book offers a unique historical perspective into the state of art and travel, and will fascinate readers interested in the rise of tourism, cultural critique, and the development of aesthetics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
