The Scenic Route to Humphry Clinker
Dr Ronnie Young shows how Smollett’s cantankerous Travels Through France and Italy – a “journal of gripes, snipes and stereotypes” – laid the groundwork for his finest novel

The Spanish Steps deserted, no queues at the Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain in monumental silence. 5 years ago, Rome stood still during the #Covid19 lockdown in #Italy. A documentary photo exhibition looks back at this surreal moment in time:

Content warning On "Prima storia"
Post-war #Italy must have been pretty hardcore:
A man's youngest son falls deathly ill, and the physicians tell him that "only God can help him now!" Then he commands his family to pray, and when his son gets worse, he goes to the village priest and tells him:
"Only you can make God understand that my son is dying, and that he needs to help him!
And if my son doesn't get better: Well, in this package I have five sticks of dynamite from the mines, and if my son doesn't survive, I will blow up the church!"
I mean, yes, this book is a work of fiction, but even fiction has to seem reasonably plausible to the audience...

In the silence of Sunday, nature reclaims its spaces, free to express itself as the rituals of other species unfold far from human noise.

So now that I have a database of 60+ women who have written about visiting Rome between the 15th century and the 1960s... should this be a book? I would love to make this a book.
