Publisher's Synopsis
"The Tour of Doctor Syntax, in Search of Consolation" recounts the further adventures of the eccentric Doctor Syntax, a clergyman and schoolmaster, on a picturesque journey through England. Penned in rhyming verse by William Combe and vividly illustrated by Thomas Rowlandson, this second tour sees the good doctor seeking solace and new experiences. Filled with humorous encounters and whimsical scenes, the narrative satirizes the manners and morals of the time, offering a delightful glimpse into early 19th-century British society and landscapes.
Rowlandson's colorful and expressive illustrations bring Combe's witty verse to life, making this a captivating blend of visual and literary art. This edition preserves the charm and spirit of the original, appealing to enthusiasts of historical literature, art, and social commentary.
