"English Travellers of the Renaissance" by Clare Howard is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the phenomenon of travel among English gentlemen during the Renaissance period, particularly focusing on the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It examines how travel was seen as a means of cultural and educational enrichment, reflecting broader societal shifts towards humanism and cosmopolitanism in England. The beginning of "English Travellers of the Renaissance" outlines the preface and introduction of Howard’s study, emphasizing the vastness of literature surrounding travel and the need to shed light on a significant aspect of Renaissance travel practices. Howard discusses how the practice of travel evolved from religious pilgrimages to pursuits for knowledge and education, highlighting the crucial role of humanism and languages in shaping this journey. She notes that many of these essays were designed to prepare young men to engage fully with their travels, aiming to benefit both personal development and the broader commonwealth. This opening portion sets the stage for a detailed examination of how English travellers viewed their expeditions as part of their education and social duty, providing insights into their motivations, experiences, and the cultural exchanges they inspired.
