Summary "Travels in England in 1782" by Karl Philipp Moritz is a travel narrative published in the late 18th century that captures the author's journey through England during a pivotal era, just before the French Revolution. Moritz, a young Prussian clergyman, shares his observations and experiences traveling mainly on foot, portraying the contrasts between English society and that of his homeland. His letters to a friend detail his encounters with various landscapes and urban settings, conveying a deep admiration for the people and culture he discovers along the way. The opening of the book presents Moritz's arrival in England, revealing his excitement and initial impressions of the countryside and cities he encounters. He conveys the beauty of the English landscape, particularly the Thames, and contrasts it with his previous experiences. As he travels on foot from various towns and experiences different inns, Moritz meticulously describes not only the charming scenery but also the cultural nuances he observes, including his interactions with locals, peculiarities of English customs, and an aura of anticipation as he navigates through a land filled with both familiarity and novelty.
