I only have moderate foxing & age-browning. Jean-Baptiste Mercier Dupaty 1746-1788 French magistrate and man of letters. Lettres sur L'Italie first published in 1785 was a significant work of enlightenment travel writing in which Dupaty 'transformed Rousseau’s moralized philosophy into a historicized aesthetic in a series of letters suffused with a powerful emotional style'. Dupaty's descriptions of walking through the city 'provided his readers with an effective means of reinscribing the intimate presence of history into their own wanderings through Rome. This kind of wandering in the imagined footsteps of the ancients was a way to see the world through a mobile gaze that connected the walker directly to the sights and sounds that had inspired writers from the past' Atkinson & Caviglia 2018 'Making sense of Rome in the eighteenth century' Word & Image 34.3 p. 221. The work was immediately popular in France although Dupaty's critique of the Vatican saw it placed on the Index. ~Robust packaging. Overseas tracking available on request.
