John Moore (1729-1802) was a Scottish physician who travelled extensively and wrote immensely popular accounts of these travels. He records his encounters with Voltaire, Frederick the Great, Prince Charles Edward Stuart and the Pope, along with other notable figures, and gives a first-hand account of the September Massacres and the downfall of the French monarchy during the Revolution. His work brought him international fame. He became friends with Edmund Burke, Sir Joshua Reynolds and Robert Burns and won the admiration of Lord Byron and Maria Edgeworth. Later, Thomas Carlyle used Moore as a key source for his seminal work, The French Revolution (1837). Despite his contemporary fame, Moore's travel writings have not been republished since 1820. This collection will be the first in almost two centuries to present Moore's works to historians and literary scholars of the eighteenth century. The Travel Writings of John Moore will be of value to all scholars of the eighteenth century, especially those interested in travel writings and the French Revolution.
