Summary:

The Grand Tour was the last act in an eighteenth-century gentleman's education. Behind him lay school-years of Greek grammer, Latin hexameters, gown-and-chapel routine. Now, at last it was time for spiritual matriculation, the ultimate in civilizing experiences, a journey through Europe to the overwhelming masterpieces of Italy. [from front flap].
