Talk by Rosamond Bayne-Powell
In the eighteenth century it was customary for the young English gentleman to complete his education by making a Grand Tour of Europe. But did the French, German, and Italian custom return us the compliment? And what did those foreigners who came think of us, and we of them? Mrs. Bayne-Powell, who has published several books on the eighteenth century, considers these questions and discusses the influence of visiting and resident foreigners on English culture and manners.
