Setting out from Calais with a morocco-bound diary, a young woman nursing a private sorrow records her journey through France to Italy. In Florence, Rome and Naples she writes about paintings, sculpture, ruins, society and her own melancholy, mocking the gushing diaries of other lady travellers even as she keeps one.
A hit of 1826 that launched Anna Jameson’s career as a writer on art, for lovers of the Grand Tour. Download the free EPUB.
