Résumé

Edward S. Mogg's 'Survey of the High Roads of England and Wales. Part the First' emerges as a seminal contribution to the genre of travel literature in the early 19th century, intricately mapping the thoroughfares that connect England and Wales. Mogg employs a vivid, descriptive prose style, intertwining his observations of the landscapes and communities alongside practical travel information, thus serving both the literary and utilitarian needs of the burgeoning middle class of the period.
His meticulous attention to detail and the insightful commentary on local customs and history situate this work within the broader context of Romanticism, where nature and human experience are deeply interwoven. Mogg, a prominent figure in the cartographic and travel writing domains, hails from an era when industrialization transformed the British landscape. His experiences traveling the nation and his fascination with its intricate geography and cultural variations inspired his desire to document the high roads systematically.
Mogg's background in commerce and his commitment to improving travel conditions reflect his understanding of the practical needs of contemporary society, making his insights all the more significant. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of travel in Britain, offering a rich tapestry of geographic and cultural insights. Whether you are a scholar of geography or a casual traveler, Mogg's nuanced observations provide a compelling glimpse into the early 19th century, inviting readers to reflect on the roots of modern travel and road networks. In this enriched edition, we have carefully created added value for your reading experience: - Hand-picked Memorable Quotes shine a spotlight on moments of literary brilliance. - Interactive footnotes clarify unusual references, historical allusions, and archaic phrases for an effortless, more informed read.
