Leisure trips to Paris, London or Berlin, a cours pittoresque along the Rhine, domestic trips in the Low Countries and a series of other destinations gained ground, while new sorts of travellers cropped up: female and middle-class travellers, domestic servants, children, youngsters and the elderly. Verhoeven does not only trace these evolutions, but also explains why Netherlandish travellers gradually turned into art connoisseurs; why they were spellbound by sites of memory and by rugged landscapes; or why all sorts of fashionable gadgets and thingies were bought on the way.Egodocuments and History Series9.DutchTravelHistoryEurope17th centuryDutchTravelHistoryEurope18th centuryFlemingsTravelHistoryEurope17th centuryFlemingsTravelHistoryEurope18th centuryElite (Social sciences)NetherlandsHistory17th centuryElite (Social sciences)NetherlandsHistory18th centuryElite (Social sciences)BelgiumFlandersHistory17th centuryElite (Social sciences)BelgiumFlandersHistory18th centuryGrand tours (Education)EuropeDescription and travelDutchTravelHistoryDutchTravelHistoryFlemingsTravelHistoryFlemingsTravelHistoryElite (Social sciences)HistoryElite (Social sciences)HistoryElite (Social sciences)HistoryElite (Social sciences)HistoryGrand tours (Education)914.04/20893931Verhoeven Gerrit1980-892694Webb Diane1644028NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910822203503321Europe within Reach3989613UNINA
