- Résumé : "A Year's Journey through France and Part of Spain, 1777" by Philip Thicknesse offers a vivid account of the author's travels through France and parts of Spain during the late 18th century. The narrative is structured as a series of letters, providing a personal and detailed perspective on the cultural, social, and historical aspects of the regions visited. Thicknesse's journey takes him through intermediary cities such as Nismes, Arles, Marseilles, Avignon, and Lyons, where he encounters a variety of people and experiences that shape his observations. In Nismes, he is captivated by the beauty and elegance of his hostess, while in Arles, he is fascinated by the remnants of Roman architecture and the city's rich history. His travels also lead him to Marseilles, where he reflects on the bustling port city and its diverse population. In Avignon, Thicknesse is intrigued by the tomb of Laura, made famous by Petrarch, and the city's connection to the papacy. Throughout his journey, Thicknesse provides insights into the customs, architecture, and landscapes of the regions he visits, offering readers a glimpse into the past. His narrative is not only a travelogue but also a reflection on the changes and continuities in European society during a time of transformation. Thicknesse's keen observations and engaging storytelling make this work a valuable resource for understanding the cultural and historical context of 18th century France and Spain.
- Biographie : Philip Thicknesse est un auteur britannique, excentrique et ami de l'artiste Thomas Gainsborough.
