Italy and the Grand Tour

By Jeremy Black

MA-218

Our price $35.00

Many other books about the grand tour have relied on guidebooks that outlined what one should see while visiting ruins, shopping for art and antiquities, and touring cities and gardens. Black, however, has consulted diaries and other firsthand accounts, containing descriptions of everything from accommodations, food, transportation, costs, and hazards, to activities such as drinking, gambling, and conducting romantic assignations. 27 colorplates, 31 illustrations.
