Inhalt :: Content Online-Service mit Zugang zu Quellenmaterialien zur sog. "Grand Tour" von der Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts bis zur Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Die "Grand Tour" war die Bezeichnung für eine seit der Renaissance obligatorische Reise der Söhne des europäischen Adels, später auch des gehobenen Bürgertums durch Mitteleuropa, Italien, Spanien und auch ins Heilige Land, wobei in weiterem Sinne auch Bildungsreisen erwachsener Angehöriger der genannten Stände darunter fallen. Insbesondere in England fand die "Grand Tour" im 18. Jahrhundert ihren reichen literarischen Niederschlag. Die Sammlung beinhaltet eine Vielzahl von handschriftlichen Reiseaufzeichnungen, veröffentlichten Reiseberichten, Tagebuchaufzeichnungen, Reiseführern und Briefen im Volltext- und/oder Faksimileformat sowie Gemälde, Zeichnungen, Skizzen und Karten. Vertreten sind neben einer Vielzahl von unbekannten oder wenig bekannten Autorinnen und Autoren zahlreiche Schriftsteller, Künstler, Politiker, Diplomaten und Wissenschaftler, deren Aufzeichnungen einen Einblick in ein vielfältiges Spektrum von Themen wie Transport- und Verkehrsmittel, Geld, Nachrichtenwesen, Essen und Trinken, Gesundheit und Körperlichkeit vermitteln. Die Quellenmaterialien wurden u.a. ausgewählt aus den Beständen der Beinecke Library, des Paul Mellon Centre, der Chaney Library und der British Library.
