Reviews

This study illuminates early French travels to Italy from a myriad of angles: linguistic, political, historical, biographical, medical, and architectural. At the same time, it explores outward, linking historical materials to questions of leisure, militarism, and global tourism. Advancing the notion of 'performed leisure,' Keatley smartly situates French travel within a rich context of political, social, economic, and learned textual impulses. His study of Montaigne's voyage, in particular, proves a tour de force. -George Hoffmann, author of Reforming French Culture: Satire, Spiritual Alienation, and Connection to Strangers Textual Spaces is the product of patient, sound, and thorough scholarship that mobilizes a wealth of source material to paint a vivid picture of the careerism, culture, and curiosity of early modern French travelers to Italy. Keatley has made an original and important contribution to the field of Renaissance studies and to the subfield of travel studies. -Eric M. MacPhail, author of Dancing Around the Well: The Circulation of Commonplaces in Renaissance Humanism
