Itineraries and Wanderlust in Moryson’s Travel Narrative
The essay praises Fynes Moryson’s Itinerary for its unpretentious Elizabethan English and factual travel accounts across Germany, Switzerland, Italy, and more. It contrasts him with Evelyn and Walpole, notes his frugal expenditures, ventures abroad to seek knowledge, and recounts his telepathic visions and family dreams, highlighting its value as historical material for fiction and later writers.
