A single day's entry in Boswell's journal can require discussions of a wide range of topics such as post roads, architectural history, opera buffa, taxidermy, political theory and classical mythology, to name just a few examples. It is an important contribution to the study of what scholars now conceive as multiple European enlightenments and contributes significantly to our understanding of the set of travel practices, itineraries and institutions associated with 'The Grand Tour'.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51626905239825,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":51626906026257,"sku":"NGR9781399540483","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52748573933841,"sku":"NIN9781399540483","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1399540483.jpg?v=1770374047"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/yale-editions-of-the-private-papers-of-james-boswell-ser-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
