Summary/Abstract: The attraction of the European literati to Italy has been a documented phenomenon dating back to the 16th- 17th centuries. While the tradition of the Grand Tour had been paused for a while due to the expansionist policies of Napoleon, Italy had retained its place as a cultural and historical landmark within the English imagination. The advent of the Industrial Revolution and the expansion of the middle class meant that a new form of travel entered the stage; one which took the historic appeal of the Grand Tour and simplified it for ease of consumption, resulting in a new class of traveller.
