Talk by W. G. Hoskins
Reader in Economic History in the University of Oxford
Richard Ford, who died a hundred years ago, is described on his tombstone in an Exeter churchyard as ' the most penetrating explorer of all things Spanish.' He introduced Amontillado sherry into England, publicised the work of Velasquez, and wrote what Dr. Hoskins believes is a neglected master-piece, Handbook for Travellers in Spain.
