My edition of four travel journals by 18th-c servants is out now, including accounts of France, Italy, the Low Countries, Germany and the Ottoman Empire by three valets and a maid – the majority of people who went on the 'Grand Tour' #skystorians #18thc #c18th global.oup.com/academic/pro...

I’m at The National Archives today to look for more non-elite writers in the Huguenot Library - potentially including the wonderfully named Henry Lamp!

Very satisfying to approve the final proofs this morning – my edition of four travel journals by 18th-century servants should be out in November! I hope they will be useful for all kinds of research and teaching on travel, travel writing and social history #skystorians #18thc #c18th #history
