Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches on the Old Road Through France to Florence Among all the names of English wild flowers there is none prettier than Traveller's Joy I do not know why the wild little clematis should have been called so, or who were the poets and humourists that invented the names of our flowers - names like Heartsease, Shepherd's Purse, Love in a Mist, or Blowsy Bess. Such names seem to belong naturally to the kind of England that Chaucer knew, and nowadays they are in danger of being used with a certain conscious and deliberate simplicity, like a revived Maypole in Islington. But Traveller's Joy we may perhaps retain in common use without affectation - all the more because, when summer goes, it loses its childlike prettiness and develops into Old Man's Beard. Some kinds of traveller's joy are common to every journey. To all except very distinguished people, there is a sense of escape, a loosening of habit's fetters, and a pleasing loss of identity. There is always the hope that the people and things we may meet will be more agreeable than the people and things we are accustomed to. There is the still more glorious hope that the traveller himself may become more agreeable also. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

CHAPTER VIII THE BURNING OF SHELLEY'S BODY Viareggio is perhaps chiefly interesting to Englishmen because here the body of Shelley was washed up on July 18, 1822. The town has sought to do him honour. The Piazza Paolina has become the Piazza Shelley (does his spirit triumph, I wonder, at having ousted the sister of a tyrant?), and in the centre of it stands a creditable bust of the poet, placed there with some ceremony in 1894. It interests me beyond measure to find myself contributing to a book which contains a picture of the spot where his body was washed up. After long residence in Tuscany, with a certain knowledge of the history, of the laws past and present, of the official life, old and new, of the country; familiar, too, as I am with the topography of the place, I have been led to notice that the English accounts of Shelley's death and burial and cremation leave a good deal to be desired in clearness and accuracy. Will the reader bear with me, I wonder, will he not think it out of place, if I take this opportunity of re-stating some points of the tragic event? Shelley started from Leghorn for San Terenzo on July 8, under circumstances well known, with Captain Williams and a sailor lad called Charles Vivian. It is interesting to note, what I have seen for myself, that Shelley's boat was cleared from Leghorn as the Don Juan. Originally she was part-owned by Trelawny, Williams, and Shelley, but before being launched, Shelley had become sole owner at a cost of; 8o.f Trelawny had christened her the Don Juan, which was distasteful to Shelley, who re-named her the Ariel. But Byron had written to Captain Daniel Roberts, who was superintending her building at Genoa, to have the name Don Juan painted on the mainsail. And "thus...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘I remember being much amused last year, when landing at Calais,’ wrote Mrs Frances Trollope in her 1835 book, Paris and the Parisians, ‘at the answer made by an old traveller to a novice ... making his first voyage. “What a dreadful smell!” said the uninitiated stranger ... “it is the smell of the continent, sir!” replied the man of experience. And so it was.’ Historians James Munson and Richard Mullen examine just what it was about the smell of the continent that so attracted British travellers in the hundred years from the fall of Napoleon to the outbreak of the First World War. It was the first time in history that the British, en masse, set out to discover Europe. Drawing on contemporary accounts, diaries and letters, Munson and Mullen offer a compelling portrait of the Victorians abroad, many of them convinced that their country was not only vastly superior but also the envy of the world.
