Writers of the Grand Tour Eighteenth Century

Travel to Italy and Literature Travel to Italy generates a great literary production Iinitially Travel journals, memoirs, autobiographies,authentic or ficitional correspondence, Guidebooks – Guidebooks for travellers with practical information (hotels, restaurants) from the middle of Nineteenth century with the rise of mass tourism (in England Murray’s 1837, in Germany Baedecker 1836).

Tourists of the Enlightenment: Addison Joseph Addison (1672–1719), who wrote of his travels on the Grand Tour in The Voyage of Italy, published in Written in a far more familiar travel diary style than the Coryate book of 1611, Addison reveals the enlightened, eighteenth-century view. On the Grand Tour a tutor, known as the “bearleader,” accompanied young gents and acted as both guide and tutor. Addison was the bearleader for two such young English lords, George Dashwood and Edward Wortley Montague. Among his observations in The Voyage of Italy is that in Rome “there are more statues in it than there are men in most other cities....”

Most prominent “narrators” of the eighteenth-century Grand Tour JOSEPH ADDISON ( ) Remarks on Several Parts of Italy (1705) Italy: a museum of classical antiquities (repetitive catalogue) Addison as a commentator on classics?

Samuel Sharp Samuel Sharp travelled to Italy in 1765– 1766 and was so disgruntled with the trip that he wrote a book condemning almost all things Italian: “The kitchen tables were filthy, the wine was bad … the streets swarmed with monks, beggars, and bedraggled paupers; cooks, postillions, and innkeepers were incompetent extortioners, and even the climate was insupportable.…”

SAMUEL SHARP (1700?-1778) Letters from Italy, describing the Customs and Manners of that Country (1766) Critical account of the manners and customs of Italians

TOBIAS SMOLLETT ( ) Travels through France and Italy (1766) Sharp account of Italians While in Italy, Smollett met Laurence Sterne who in turn satirized his attitude towards Italian customs and manners in the character of Smelfungus in his Sentimental Journey (1768)

A response to Sharp and Smollett: Giuseppe Baretti GIUSEPPE BARETTI ( ) An Account of the Manners and Customs of Italy (1768) Resident in London and teacher of Italian language and literature at Streatham Park (Thrales and Johnson) Staunch defender of Italianness

LADY MARY WORTLEY MONTAGU ( ) Letters (1765) Aristocratic intellectual Famous for her Turkish Letters (1764) and inoculation Two different experiences of Italy (as a wife and as a lover)

HESTER LYNCH THRALE PIOZZI ( ) Observations and Reflections Made in the Course of a Journey through France, Italy, and Germany (1789) “looking for pleasure beyond the limits of innocence”

GOETHE One of the most important, enthusiastic, and influential of the early Grand Tourists to Rome was not English but German. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749– 1832) travelled to Italy in 1786 and later wrote in his Italienische Reise: “Were I not impelled by the German spirit and desire to learn and do rather than admire, I would stay on … in this school of light hearted and happy life....” Goethe still fondly remembered this “light hearted and happy life” in Rome in his 1789 book on the Roman Carnival.
