Lessons of Travel presents how, in eighteenth-century France, this practice was heavily contested, and the idea of educational travel had far wider implications. Through the study of a huge range of both canonical and little-known sources discussing "the art of travel", from abbe Pluche's educational best seller, The Spectacle of Nature, through Rousseau's Emile to practical prospectuses for collective educational travel in the revolutionary period, Gelleri investigates what it meant to 'think about travels' in eighteenth-century France. Consideration of who should travel and for what purpose, he argues, contributed to an international intellectual tradition but also provided a pretext for debate on the social status quo, including such issues as the place of the merchant class, the necessity for professional training, the uses of travel for young women and the education of a new generation of citizens of the Revolution"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages [211]-226) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction : on reading arts of travel -- Defining the Grand Tour -- From touring to training : the case of diplomacy 1680-1830 -- Trading with men, dealing with God : abbeÌ Pluche's ideas on travel -- Travelling on a Moebius strip : EÌmile's travels -- The end of an era? : the prize contest of the Academy of Lyon (1785-87) -- Inventing school trips? : revolutionary programmes of collective educational travel 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 650 0 $a Voyages and travels. 650 7 $a Intellectual life. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00975769 650 7 $a Voyages and travels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01169308 651 0 $a France $x Intellectual life $y 18th century. 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 776 08 $i Online version $a GelleÌri, GaÌbor, 1976- $t Lessons of travel in eighteenth-century France $d Woodbridge, Suffolk : The Boydell Press, 2020 $z 9781787445772 $w (OCoLC)1140750783 830 0 $a Studies in the eighteenth century. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317023719.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0E365A52177D11EC850ADFAD22ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
