Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters Written During a Short Residence in Spain and Portugal In the following letters I have related what I have seen. Of the anecdotes with which they abound, there are none of which I myself doubt the authenticity. There are no disquisitions on commerce and politics I have given facts, and the Reader may comment for himself. The book is written with scrupulous veracity; I have never in the slightest instance enlivened the narrative by deviating from plain truth.

Book excerpt: In 1797 Robert Southey published a richly detailed account of his journey in Spain and Portugal between December 1795 and May 1796, from his arrival in Coruna in the northwest of the Spanish coast to the heart of Castile and into Madrid, before making his way to Lisbon. Structured as a series of letters written as he travelled across the Iberian Peninsula, Letters Written During a Short Residence in Spain and Portugal engages with the tradition of English travelogues, while borrowing traits from other genres such as the journal, translation, literary criticism, history, and the picturesque guidebook. On his way, Southey comments on every aspect of Spanish and Portuguese society, from local food and wine, bizarre customs, literature and theatregoing, to Iberian politics and religion. In his letters Southey, who would grow to become one of the leading Hispanists in late Georgian England, contrasts the political, religious, cultural and social systems of Britain and two of the oldest nations in the European continent in a way that raises important questions about cultural contact and transmission during the Romantic period. This edition critically reassesses Letters Written During a Short Residence in Spain and Portugal by looking at Southey’s deeply ambiguous cultural cosmopolitanism and his life-long investment in all things Spanish and Portuguese.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters From Portugal, Spain, Italy and Germany, in the Years 1759, 1760, and 1761, Vol. 3 My inn I think is as bad as can possibly be. Indeed to the south-ward of Rome, things begin to have the air of Spain. There is some reason why accommodations would be worse in hot countries than in colder climates. The mildness of the air renders them less necessary. At this time of the year, people would be starved in England in the room I am at present setting. No glass to the windows, tho' that indeed is at present remedied by the wooden shutters being closed, but then there are proper interstices to let the wind pass. My chimney likewise smokes. Part of my supper is just tumbled down, or rather up flairs, and I am going to eat the rest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
