"Travels in England in 1782" by Karl Philipp Moritz is a travel memoir published in 1783. A young German scholar and Anglophile recounts his two-month journey through England, beginning in London's theaters and Parliament, then venturing on foot through the countryside. His decision to walk proves perilous—mistaken for a beggar or thief in a society where only the destitute traveled by foot, he faces hostility, rejection, and is even driven from villages for his unusual mode of travel.
