| Description: |
Published in 1820, this illustrated two-volume account traces a two-year trip through Spain, Sicily, Greece, Albania and Italy. |
| Synopsis: |
Between 1812 and 1814, Cambridge fellow and cleric Thomas Smart Hughes (1786-1847) and Robert Townley Parker, later an MP for Preston, embarked on a tour of Mediterranean countries, 'those theatres of the most interesting events recorded in the annals of history'. This two-volume account of their travels, illustrated with plates from the drawings of the architect Charles Robert Cockerell, was first published in 1820. In Volume 2, Hughes describes the second leg of the journey, beginning in Epirus in Greece and moving through Albania before returning to England via Italy and France, noting important historical events that took place at each location and describing the local legends, habits and customs. He quotes freely from other travel writers of the time, as well as from ancient authors and inscriptions encountered on the tour. Included also are anecdotes which render this account vivid and readable, allowing the author's personality and opinions to reveal themselves. |
