Sommario/riassunto |
|
This collection examines a wide variety of literature-travel, memoir, and fiction-and explores the ways travel and ideas of "culture" have evolved since the heyday of the Grand Tour. The sites of the Grand Tour remain a powerful cultural draw, and they continue to define ideas of taste and learning for those who visit them. |
