In 1782 an enthusiastic young German landed in England. Through the fresh eyes of a foreigner we get a wonderful insight into what has or hasn't changed within the last two hundred years. In a series of letters home he describes his amazement at the number of English people who wore spectacles, the amount they drank, the dreadful food they ate, the expense of a simple salad, the drunkenness of the dons, the riotous behaviour in Parliament, and the high level of education among ordinary people. George III was on the English throne when Carl Philip Moritz, an actor - and later teacher of philosophy - left his native Germany for a visit to England. This is quite a fascinating book, as Moritz relates his adventures in a series of letters to a friend back home. He rhapsodizes on the beauties of the countryside, but talks too of things that strike him as odd or interesting. From trips to the theatre and the House of Commons, evenings at Vauxhall and Ranelagh pleasure gardens, he moves on to take a walking/ coach tour to Oxford and thence to the Derbyshire Peak district. He notes repeatedly that traveling on foot is deemed peculiar, dangerous and 'low' - he is often turned away from inns as an undesirable because of it. And yet he has many positive interactions too with the assorted people he encounters en route. Highly readable, he brings to life a vanished world. Ref UUU 1.
