商品簡介
Fully annotated, old-spelling texts of three separate manuscript accounts of travels within Western Europe are published here for the first time. They describe journeys by three young English travelers, but in very different formats and for very different purposes. Taken together, they offer an perspective into the views and aspirations of certain kinds of young Englishmen who were sent abroad by their families during a tumultuous period of English domestic politics and international relations--from the execution of Charles I through the Commonwealth and Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell, until three years after the Restoration of Charles II. Distributed in the US by Ashgate. Annotation c2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
