A Tour thro' the Whole Island of Great Britain (original) (raw)
A Tour Thro' the Whole Island of Great Britain is an account of his travels by English author Daniel Defoe, first published in three volumes between 1724 and 1727. Other than Robinson Crusoe, Tour was Defoe's most popular and financially successful work during the eighteenth century. Pat Rogers notes that in Defoe’s use of the “literary vehicle (the ‘tour’ or ‘circuit’) that could straddle the literal and the imaginative,” “Nothing...anticipated Defoe’s Tour”. Thanks in part to his extensive travels and colourful background as a soldier, businessman, and spy, Defoe had “hit on the best blend of objective fact and personal commentary” in his descriptions of locations and trips around Britain.

Ausgenommen Robinson Crusoe war dies Defoes beliebteste und finanziell erfolgreichste Veröffentlichung im 18. Jahrhundert. Der Text spricht sowohl das Verlangen nach Tatsachen wie auch die Vorstellungskraft an. Dank seiner ausgedehnten Reisen und seines Lebens als Soldat, Geschäftsmann und Spion versteht es Defoe unbestreitbare Realität und persönliche Meinung miteinander in seiner Reisebeschreibung zu verbinden.

Este trabajo de no ficción proporciona una descripción práctica de las visitas de Defoe a distintos lugares, en una época en que faltaban obras disponibles al respecto. Cualquier persona que viva en Gran Bretaña puede encontrar que su propia localidad está descrita en este trabajo. Además, Un viaje a través de toda la Isla de Gran Bretaña es una fuente valiosa para cualquiera que trate de hacerse una idea del estado de Inglaterra, Escocia y Gales algunas décadas antes de la Revolución industrial. (Habitualmente, se considera que la Revolución Industrial comenzó en los años 1760, aunque algunos eruditos afirman que ya había empezado en la época en que Defoe escribía.) Se desconoce si Defoe visitó personalmente cada uno de los pueblos descritos, o si alguno de sus amigos le recomendó incluirlos basados en sus propias experiencias.

A digressão de Defoe está enraizada em uma ficção. Sua turnê não é um relato de uma viagem real feita para esse fim, mas a destilação de uma vida de viagens, observação e coleta de informações.
