{"product_id":"masculinity-and-danger-on-the-sarah-goldsmith-9781912702213","title":"Masculinity and Danger on the Eighteenth-Century Grand Tour","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Grand Tour was a journey to continental Europe undertaken by British nobility and wealthy landed gentry during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. As a rite of passage, the Tour also played an important role in the formation of contemporary notions of elite masculinity. Examining letters, diaries and other records left by Grand Tourists, tutors and their families, this book demonstrates how the Tour was used to educate elite young men in a wide variety of skills, virtues and masculine behaviours that extended well beyond polite society. This book argues that dangerous experiences, in particular, were far more central to the Tour as a means of constructing Britain's next generation of leaders than has previously been acknowledged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Goldsmith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1912702215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781912702213\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of London Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.30w x 1.00d","brand":"Sarah Goldsmith","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43941488787711,"sku":"9781912702213","price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_faf1eb44-04e0-4079-97a5-4202aa425757.jpg?v=1681453218","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/masculinity-and-danger-on-the-sarah-goldsmith-9781912702213","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
