This is the first study to look beyond the Italian Grand Tour to the wider culture of educational travel that thrived among British and Irish landowners between 1650 and 1750. Based on deep archival research, it explores the meanings of continental travel for social mobility, elite formation, landed identity, masculinity and Englishness.
