Boswell On The Grand Tour by James Boswell
Italy, Corsica & France 1765–1766
A lively travel journal documenting a young Scotsman's Grand Tour through Europe in the 1760s, blending vivid descriptions of landscapes, art and daily life with candid self-reflection, social encounters and comic misadventures; the narrative records meetings with a range of local characters and notable figures, observations on manners, politics and culture, and the development of a keenly observant, often wryly humorous literary voice as he negotiates language, etiquette and the formative experiences that shape his outlook.
