Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2025The Jacobites and the Grand Tour
Educational travel and small-states' diplomacy
by Jérémy Filet
In the first monograph to fully examine the intersecting networks of Jacobites and travellers to the continent, Filet considers how small states used official diplomacy and deployed soft power - embodied by educational academies - to achieve foreign policy goals. This work uses little-known archival materials to explain how and why certain small states secretly supported the Jacobite cause during the crucial years surrounding the 1715 rising, while others stayed out of Jacobite affairs.At the same time, the book demonstrates how early modern small states sought to cultivate good relations with Britain by attracting travellers as part of a wider trend of ensuring connections with future diplomats or politicians in case a Stuart restoration never came.This publication therefore brings together a study of Britain, small states, Jacobitism, and educational travel, in its nexus at continental academies.

Humanities & Social SciencesJune 2025Taking travel home
The souvenir culture of British women tourists, 1750–1830
by Emma Gleadhill
In the late eighteenth-century, elite British women had an unprecedented opportunity to travel. Taking travel home uncovers the souvenir culture these women developed around the texts and objects they brought back with them to realise their ambitions in the arenas of connoisseurship, friendship and science. Key characters include forty-three-year-old Hester Piozzi (Thrale), who honeymooned in Italy; thirty-one-year-old Anna Miller, who accompanied her husband on a Grand Tour; Dorothy Richardson, who undertook various tours of England from the ages of twelve to fifty-two; and the sisters Katherine and Martha Wilmot, who travelled to Russia in their late twenties. The supreme tourist of the book, the political salon hostess Lady Elizabeth Holland, travelled to many countries with her husband, including Paris, where she met Napoleon, and Spain during the Peninsular War. Using a methodology informed by literary and design theory, art history, material culture studies and tourism studies, the book examines a wide range of objects, from painted fans "of the ruins of Rome for a sequin apiece" and the Pope's "bless'd beads", to lava from Vesuvius and pieces of Stonehenge. It argues that the rise of the souvenir is representative of female agency, as women used their souvenirs to form spaces in which they could create and control their own travel narratives.

January 2017Die Philosophie des Radfahrens
by Jesús Ilundáin-Agurruza, M. W. Austin, Peter Reichenbach
Radfahren verändert unsere Sicht auf die Welt: Albert Einstein fiel während des Radfahrens die Relativitätstheorie ein. Ernest Hemingway befand, es gebe keine bessere Art, ein Land nachhaltig zu erkunden, als auf zwei Rädern. Aber warum macht Fahrradfahren glücklich – trotz Regen, Gegenwind und steiler Berge? Warum geht alles schief, wenn man sich zum ersten Mal auf eine lange Fahrradtour wagt? Warum passieren die kuriosesten Ereignisse der Tour de France immer am Alpe d’Huez? Die Philosophie des Radfahrens zeigt kenntnisreich, dass Philosophie und Radfahren ein perfektes Tandem bilden. In ihrer philosophischen Tour de Force nehmen die Autoren Helden und Antihelden aus der Welt des Radsports ins Auge, schreiben über die Ethik von Wettbewerb und Erfolg, beleuchten Bewegungen wie »We are traffic« und gehen der Frage nach, was Feministinnen vom Radfahren halten. Und sie geben stichhaltige Argumente für das Radfahren in all seinen Ausformungen: als tägliche Fahrt zur Arbeit, als Sport, als Reise, als Lebensart. Ein Buch für alle, die es glücklich macht, sich tagtäglich auf den Sattel zu setzen.
