Johnson's French Tour: Some Biographical Notes

Hélène du Sacré-Coeur Bonin, Fordham University

Abstract

This inclination for travel had been typical of the Eng- lish for at least a hundred years prior to the dawning of the eighteenth century. It was during this century that the in- clination grew into a passion.2 Englishmen were seen travel- ing in all the leading countries of Europe, whether they were young men making the Grand Tour under the direction of their tutors, or persons of maturity who had come abroad for busi- ness or pleasure.
