Ladies of the Grand Tour

av Dolan, Brian

London : HarperCollins. 2001.

Nyskick. Pocket, Nyskick,Flamingo, Paperback edition, 2002.

The Grand Tour has long been assumed to have been a male preserve. Young aristocrats or the sons of the newly wealthy would set off for a year or two to see the cultural highlights of Europe and to gain some sexual experience in brothels along the way before returning to 'settle down'. Their fiancees - ever patient - were left behind, communicated with by letter. The men would often have their portraits painted in the Grand Manner and collect souvenirs.
This book reminds us that sometimes - albeit rarely - women made that trip too. It is excellent at setting the scene, making you think about the practicalities of wearing voluminous clothing whilst trying to cross the Alps. It's also a fantastic reminder that the C18th was a complex, contradictory era. A must for students of C18th history or for art history students.ockt
