Frolics in the Face of Europe: Sir Walter Scott, Continental Travel and the Tradition of the Grand Tour

Summary

Sir Walter Scott’s journeys, both achieved (Belgium and Paris) and dreamt of (Iberia and the Alps), are examined in the context of the traditional Grand Tour, and the romantic age of travel that followed – though when Scott actually reached Naples and Rome, Scotland was still most in the heart and mind of this fascinating but unusual traveller.
