The Grand Tour as education and travel

Jeremy Black’s study examines the Grand Tour as an eighteenth-century educational practice among young men. Its geographical scope centers on journeys through France, Italy and Switzerland, with Germany sometimes included. Published originally in 1985 and reissued as part of Routledge Revivals, the book approaches this familiar form of European travel as a subject for scholarly analysis, linking movement across borders with the completion of an education.
