Résumé

"Journeys of a German in England in 1782" is a travel memoir written by Karl Philipp Moritz, a young scholar and Anglophile. The book recounts Moritz's two-month journey in England, starting in London where he visited famous landmarks, attended the theater, and observed sessions of the Parliament. He then embarked on a walking tour to Richmond, stopping at various places including Oxford, Derby, and Northampton.
The memoir is divided into two parts, with the first focusing on Moritz's experiences in London and the second on his walking tour. The first edition was published in Germany in 1783, followed by an improved edition in 1785. In 1795, an English translation was published, although it contained errors and was mistakenly attributed to Charles Godfrey Woide's daughter. Despite its flaws, this translation became the standard for many years.
A new translation by Reginald Nettel was published in 1965 and is now considered the standard English edition. Moritz faced difficulties during his walking tour due to the Inclosure Acts, which had displaced peasants and led to a negative perception of pedestrians as beggars or thieves. As a result, Moritz encountered challenges in finding accommodation and was even chased out of some villages. Discover a new way to read classics with Quick Read. This Quick Read edition includes both the full text and a summary for each chapter. - Reading time of the complete text: about 5 hours - Reading time of the summarized text: 12 minutes
