Book description

This definitive edition offers an unexpurgated look at Boswell's sojourn through Italy and France. Beyond the personal narrative, the volume serves as a comprehensive study of the "Grand Tour," supported by extensive annotations and new editorial material. It captures the diverse intellectual landscape of the era, where a single day's entry might span from high political theory to the minutiae of post roads and opera.
