About this title

Synopsis

Excerpt from Diary in France: Mainly on Topics Concerning Education and the Church

It is a satisfaction to him to reflect, that by being submitted to persons in France peculiarly qualified to judge of its accuracy, his narrative has received a stamp of authenticity which it would not otherwise have possessed.

The Notes which the Author has added at the close of the volume are designed to give further evidence in illustration of the main topics of the Journal, which appear to be assuming every day more and more importance both in France and in our own country.

About the Author

Christopher Wordsworth (1807-85), the "Great Christopher" of Winchester and Trinity College, Cambridge, was a nephew of William the poet, and brother to Charles, the student who launched the University Boat Race. In 1832, Christopher took a gap-year, after his brilliant studies in ancient Greek and Latin classics, to travel back in time over two thousand years to Pericles' Athens. The account of his tour, Athens and Attica (1836), is still the perfect scholarly companion to the history, topography, and myths of an area compact in dimension yet vast in terms of its contribution to Western civilization.
