This book excerpt details the experiences of Americans traveling in Europe between 1750 and 1860. The author analyzes travelers' writings, revealing their evolving perspectives on European culture and their own national identity. Americans initially held strong Anglophilic views, but these shifted over time as they encountered diverse societies and social structures. Their observations on poverty, class systems, and political structures shaped their understanding of American exceptionalism. The text also explores how travel influenced the development of American national identity, including its relationship with both Great Britain and other European nations.You can listen and download our episodes for free on more than 10 different platforms:https://linktr.ee/book_shelterGet the Book now from Amazon:https://www.amazon.com/American-Europe-1750-1860-Daniel-Kilbride/dp/1421408996?&linkCode=ll1&tag=cvthunderx-20&linkId=86df448b461c93a8c3e8d9fc52930c0b&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tlProduced by:https://www.podcaistudio.com/
