A Tour Thro' the Whole Island of Great Britain
Description
A Tour Thro’ the Whole Island of Great Britain is a book by Daniel Defoe, first published in 1724. This masterful travelogue offers a sweeping journey across the length and breadth of Britain through a series of detailed “circuits or journies,” capturing life, local customs, towns, landscapes, trade and regional character across England, Wales, and Scotland.
Defoe weaves together vivid descriptions of principal cities and towns, natural landscapes, commerce, social life and regional peculiarities, creating a panoramic snapshot of Britain in the early eighteenth century just before major economic and industrial transformations.
Readers drawn to classic literature and historical travel writing will appreciate Defoe’s keen eye for observation and his blend of factual geography, social commentary, and narrative energy. This book is an essential classic in British travel literature, offering antiquarian charm, early-modern perspective, and rich detail about regional life, trade, architecture, and society.
Whether you’re interested in historical Britain, vintage travel writing or early social history, this work remains a fascinating and immersive read.
