Exploring European Frontiers British Travellers in the Age of Enlightenment

"...Dolan provides a fascinating picture of how peoples on the margins of Europe were depicted and defined....The book is particularly successful in explicating intellectual history of different kinds and relating it to travel reports. The polymath traveller of the eighteenth century had interests ranging from botany to political economy. To make all these comprehensible to the reader, as Dolan has, is no small achievement."Dolan, Brian is the author of 'Exploring European Frontiers British Travellers in the Age of Enlightenment' with ISBN 9780312230517 and ISBN 0312230516.
