Maps and the Italian Grand Tour: Meanings, Mobilities and Materialities in George III’s Topographical Collection, 1540-1789 Jeremy Nicholas Wilkins Brown Department of Geography Royal Holloway, University of London Submitted for the degree of PhD 1 Declaration of authorship I, Jeremy Nicholas Wilkins Brown, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ________________________________________ Date: __________________________________________ 2 Acknowledgements Over the past four years, my supervisors, Veronica della Dora and Peter Barber, have been a constant source of wisdom, inspiration and encouragement. They have both shared their knowledge willingly and enthusiastically and I owe them the greatest debt of gratitude for their help – in too many ways to count – in bringing this project to completion. A special mention must also go to Felix Driver from the Department of Geography at Royal Holloway and Tom Harper from the British Library for reading and commenting on draft chapters of the thesis, their advice has pushed it forward to no end. Many others have made this thesis possible in one way or another. I have learned so much from the members of the Social, Cultural and Historical Geography group at Royal Holloway; I would especially like to thank those teachers who were happy for me to sit in on classes during my first year. All those who engaged with my work at conferences or talks contributed invaluably to the development of this thesis’s ideas and arguments. I am particularly grateful to Catherine Delano-Smith for her encouragement over presenting at the Maps and Society lecture series, which was so beneficial to the argument of Chapter 5. My friends and family have supported me throughout the project, offering sympathetic ears as well as light relief. For her endless support and for reading through drafts of chapters, making invaluable comments, Harriet Marsden has been a shining light throughout this process. I am grateful to Jordana Dym for allowing me to see her essay “Travel and Cartography” in advance of its publication. This thesis has been generously funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the British Library, and Royal Holloway, University of London. 3 Abstract This thesis is concerned with the use of maps by British grand tourists to Italy during the early modern period. Primarily, it studies the cartographic material contained within the British Library’s King George III’s Topographical Collection, formerly part of his private reference library (before it was donated to the British Museum). The usefulness of maps for Grand Tour journeys has frequently been assumed in historical narratives but discussion is generally cursory, instead favouring the important literary productions or artistic collections that resulted from touring. This thesis applies concepts developed in the history of cartography, the history of the book and visual and material culture studies in order to explore travellers’ interactions with maps of Italy. Divided into four thematic chapters that deal in turn with the topics of education, topography, travel and return, the thesis examines when and how maps were deployed by British travellers on the Italian Grand Tour. Having introduced the aims, objectives and key themes of the thesis, Chapter 1 locates the Grand Tour in the history and historiography of travel, whilst also dealing with the growth of map collecting in the early modern period. In Chapter 2, I review theoretical understandings of the nature of maps, showing how these have underpinned my research framework, but have also been complemented by methodological exchanges with visual and material culture studies. Chapter 3 explores the theme of education: how and what did British travellers learn about Italy through maps. It centres on a case study that describes and analyses annotated maps that were seemingly used for geography homework, most likely assigned to King George III when he was Prince of Wales. Interactions between myth and geography in the production of maps of Calabria are the focus of Chapter 4; the imaginations of both the mapmaker and the map user are shown to be significant to the complex and changing genre of topography in the early modern period. In Chapter 5, I address maps that were more specifically designed for wayfinding. After surveying the history of written itineraries and the display of roads and post houses on maps of Italy, I concentrate on the sudden growth and pirating of printed strip-map atlases of Italy in the 1770s. Questions about the role of maps in self-fashioning after return from a 4 Grand Tour are considered in Chapter 6, which analyses the role of maps in Grand Tour portraits by the eighteenth-century Italian artist Pompeo Batoni. The narrative provided by this thesis has a twofold ambition: to highlight the King’s Topographical Collection as a rich and broadly overlooked archival resource and to redress some of the balance that has been weighted against maps as an aspect of study in the context of the Grand Tour. Blurring the boundaries between map history, art history and cultural geography (among other humanistic disciplines), the thesis combines recent theoretical developments concerning the processual nature of maps with an appreciation for maps as physical objects, as well as visual artefacts and cultural representations of space. This leads to an analysis that details the numerous and creative ways in which maps were not only put to work by but also influenced British travellers, demonstrating that maps were a vital presence in the material culture of the Grand Tour. 5 Contents Declaration of authorship …………………………………………………………………………………….. 2 Acknowledgements …………………………………………………………………………………….. 3 Abstract …………………………………………………………………………………….. 4 Contents …………………………………………………………………………………….. 6 List of illustrations …………………………………………………………………………………….. 7 List of tables …………………………………………………………………………………….. 12 List of abbreviations …………………………………………………………………………………….. 12 Introduction …………………………………………………………………………………….. 13 Chapter 1 Mapping literatures of the Grand Tour …………………………………………………………………………………….. 22 Chapter 2 Researching the Italian volumes: A processual approach to map history …………………………………………………………………………………….. 50 Chapter 3 Education …………………………………………………………………………………….. 87 Chapter 4 Topography …………………………………………………………………………………….. 124 Chapter 5 Travel …………………………………………………………………………………….. 166 Chapter 6 Return …………………………………………………………………………………….. 209 Conclusion …………………………………………………………………………………….. 247 Bibliography …………………………………………………………………………………….. 257 6 List of illustrations 1.1 J.

Introduction The Italian Ministry for the Environment provides financial support to academia (Italian Botanical Society – SBI and Italian Zoological Union – UZI) for the implementation of the MAES process in Italy. A preliminary collection of updated and detailed basic data at the national level was carried out, including ecoregions, land units, bioclimate, biogeography, potential natural vegetation and CORINE land cover at the fourth level. Starting from these data, the Italian MAES process has been organised into six steps. The outcomes of this process have provided the Ministry for the Environment with a reliable body of information targeted to: - an effective implementation of the National Biodiversity Strategy (MATTM 2010); - the improvement in biodiversity data within the National Biodiversity Network (Martellos et al. 2011); - the further development of the environmental accounting system (Capotorti et al. 2012b); - the implementation of a road-map to be delivered to the regions (sub-national level); - the effective use of the products of all MAES process to concretely support European structural and investment funds 2014-2020 through the Joint Committee on Biodiversity, the governing body of the Italian National Strategy (Capotorti et al., 2015).

    The Country House in English Women's Poetry 1650-1750: Genre, Power and Identity

    The country house in English women's poetry 1650-1750: genre, power and identity Sharon L. Young A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the University’s requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 University of Worcester Abstract The country house in English women’s poetry 1650-1750: power, identity and genre This thesis examines the depiction of the country estate in English women’s poetry, 1650-1750. The poems discussed belong to the country house genre, work with or adapt its conventions and tropes, or belong to what may be categorised as sub-genres of the country house poem. The country house estate was the power base of the early modern world, authorizing social status, validating political power and providing an economic dominance for the ruling elite. This thesis argues that the depiction of the country estate was especially pertinent for a range of female poets. Despite the suggestive scholarship on landscape and place and the emerging field of early modern women’s literary studies and an extensive body of critical work on the country house poem, there have been to date no substantial accounts of the role of the country estate in women’s verse of this period. In response, this thesis has three main aims. Firstly, to map out the contours of women’s country house poetry – taking full account of the chronological scope, thematic and formal diversity of the texts, and the social and geographic range of the poets using the genre. Secondly, to interrogate the formal and thematic characteristics of women’s country house poetry, looking at the appropriation and adaptation of the genre.

FASHION AND IDENTITY IN GEORGIAN BRITAIN: THE GRAND TOUR PORTRAITS OF POMPEO BATONI by Matthew M. L. Rogan A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Art History at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee May 2015 ABSTRACT FASHION AND IDENTITY IN GEORGIAN BRITAIN: THE GRAND TOUR PORTRAITS OF POMPEO BATONI by Matthew M. L. Rogan The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2015 Under the Supervision of Professor Tanya Tiffany Portrait artist to popes, royalty, and nobility, Pompeo Batoni was hailed as the premier portrait painter in Rome during his career in the mid to late eighteenth century. Batoni’s reputation as the de rigueur portraitist amongst wealthy British Grand Tourists was solidified by the late 1750s, and he dominated this market until his death in 1787. This thesis will examine the different types of fashion displayed in Batoni’s Grand Tour portraits, and argue that many of the Georgian men depicted paid great attention to their dress and how it augmented their self-fashioned identities.
