Barnabae Itinerarium, also known as Drunken Barnaby's Four Journeys to the North of England, is a travelogue written by Richard Brathwaite in 1638. The book is a humorous and satirical account of the author's travels through the north of England, with a particular focus on the drinking culture of the region. The book is written in verse and follows the adventures of Barnaby, a fictional character who is depicted as a heavy drinker and a lover of good company. Barnaby travels through various towns and cities in the north of England, including Newcastle, York, and Durham, and encounters a wide range of characters along the way. Brathwaite's writing is filled with puns, jokes, and witty observations, making the book an entertaining read. However, it also provides a fascinating insight into the social and cultural landscape of England in the 17th century, particularly in relation to alcohol consumption. The 1852 edition of Barnabae Itinerarium includes an introduction by Joseph Haslewood, who provides historical context and commentary on the text. The book has since become a classic of English literature and is still widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
