These travels documented in this work were undertaken in about 1835, and Kinglake travelled with his Eton contemporary Lord Pollington.Kinglake's style has been greatly praised in this work as being refined with subtle humour. He states in the preface that he wished to steer away from other travel works, and records his own personal impressions and recollections, rather than outward facts.At the time that this was written, Kinglake was a well to do young gentleman, who founded the restrictions of respectability and country life to be confining, and so wished to escape to the East.
