Description and Table of Contents
Description
John Singleton (c. 1793-1877), a young Irishman and Oxford graduate, kept a detailed journal while making the Grand Tour at the end of the Napoleonic Wars. What he saw on his tour 1815-17 and recorded in his journal was determined largely by what he had read in his extensive library of 621 titles back in Ireland. His journal contains 109 citations, most of them quotations, from 64 different titles in his library. The journal reflects primarily the influence of Lord Byron, but Rousseau, Madame de Stael, Virgil, Milton, Pope, and John Eustace, the most important travel writer of the day, are also significant influences.
