📗 Libro en inglés BRITISH TRAVELLERS IN SEVILLE & THEIR DRAWINGS, 1715-1854

This book offers a wide-ranging and accurate survey of British travellers in Seville from the early eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century. Well-known characters such as the poet Lord Byron, the artist David Roberts and the Hispanophile par excellence, Richard Ford, appear alongside other figures identified here for the first time, who represent a greater diversity of journeyer in terms of gender, age, social class, and heritage than has traditionally been recognised. The catalogue introduces the voices of younger voyagers and emphasises the experiences of women whose itineraries and adventures were hitherto unknown. The British perception of Seville’s rich architectural heritage is defined through an analysis of the travel literature of the period, complemented by unpublished letters and journals from archives across the British Isles.
