Written at Oxford in 1908–1910, this study traces how travel for education began in Tudor England. Howard covers the high purposes Elizabethans claimed for it, the cynics who mocked returning fops, the dangers facing Protestants in Catholic Europe, the French riding academies, and the rise and decline of the Grand Tour.

A concise, readable history drawing on period instruction books and letters. Download the free EPUB.
