Great video! I have read a book called "Ladies of the Grand Tour" which documents the prejudice men showed towards women escaping the domesticity of their home to seek out adventures in Europe. It's interesting to read the impressions of british women traveling throughout France and Italy. It's also very interesting to read Samuel Johnson and Hester Thrale's account of traveling through France. Johnson commented that France overall seemed much poorer than England, and that France didn't have a "middle class" as England did. In the french countryside, everyone lived in dilapidated houses of poor construction, much different than the English countryside. Frances Burney's travels in France is also very interesting to read as well :)
Mary as always you're a delight, but I do feel like I also need to give a shoutout to the facial expressions in some of those paintings this time too 😂😟
I absolutely loved your video! I'm really excited to see more from you. I also wanted to say thanks to Tiktok's algorithm for showing me your channel. Keep up the great work! 🤩
They weren't just "English men". Hundreds of young Scots made the "Grand Tour" and brought the enlightenment back to Scotland and the UK. Why say "England" when you can be inclusive and say Britain or the UK?
Cheer up. The real Alfred Deakin (that's him in your picture, isn't it?) would have been impressed with a woman who has an MPhil in History of Art and Architecture from the University of Cambridge, and is making that history accessible.

A rich woman talking/complaining about how rich men of the past Complained about Tourism as she Tours Europe. Ok.
