Reseña del libro "Journeys in Industrious England: and Writings Personal and Topographical (en Inglés)"

With a good horse, a man could ride 50 miles in a day. Thomas Baskervillle can be believed: he rode hundreds of miles across many English counties in the later seventeenth century, and recorded where he went and what he observed. Every few years he set off on a journey; ten journeys and some shorter expeditions were written up, but not published, even in part, for 200 years. Unvarnished and frank, his writing reveals his boundless curiosity about everyday working life in town and countryside. Baskerville's other writings were varied in style and subject matter. He described the course of some local rivers in verse, and copied out a ballad about St Winnifred. He recorded executions of Royalists and Parliamentarians and compiled a history of the Oxford colleges, incidentally including his experience in Barbados. He composed an account of his family and their relations. He collected the names of taverns in and around London. This book is a fascinating account of England seen through the eyes of an alert and cheerful man in the thirty years following the execution of Charles I.
