Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Works of Theophile Gautier Volume Thirteen Travels in Russia, Vol. 1 Yet the Romanticist movement tended greatly to encourage travel and to lead the sedentary Frenchmen to Issue from the boundaries of their country for the express purpose of making themselves acquainted with the scenery of other lands, the manners and customs of their inhabitants, and the character of their art and their literature. The desire to know foreign things, so industriously fostered by Mme. De Stael, a desire that had already led many a one of her forerunners to visit England, that had led thither men of very different mind and purpose from her own, - grew constantly keener and more imperious. It may be said that with the triumph of Romanticism the love of travel was fairly implanted in the breasts of the French, though it was long before it took hold of the middle classes and led them also to seek the Swiss mountains and the Italian lakes. But there were difficulties in the way of intending tourists in those days that might well daunt even bold Spirits. The means of communication were neither as numerous nor as commodious as at the present time. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
