Description:
London: Sidgwick and Jackson. Very Good. 1985. ILLUSTRATED CARD COVER. 4to 0283997168 Soft Covers. 191 pages, with illustrations. Clean and tight. Introduced by Elizabeth Longford. After India, travel was Curzon's greatest love. Before he was thirty years old he had been twice round the world, supporting himself by writing for The Times. No traveller of the period had a prose syle to match that of Curzon, nor did they have his wit. It is these qualities, coupled with Curzon's fascinating experiences in remote and exotic places, that make Travels With A Superior Person both the quintessence of late Victorian travel-writing and a delight for modern readers. Throughout Travels With A Superior Person the reader is transported by Curzon's superb powers of description, his humour, and the poetry of his flawless prose. The book is illustrated with 90 contemporary photographs, most of them from Curzon's own collection. .
