Summary "Cities of Belgium" by Grant Allen is a historical guide written in the late 19th century. The book serves as a comprehensive travelogue intended to enrich the understanding of Belgian cities through their historical and artistic significance rather than merely providing practical tourist information. It delves into the evolution of urban centers like Bruges, Ghent, Brussels, and Antwerp, showcasing their cultural and architectural heritage. The opening of the guide establishes its aim and the rationale behind its structure, emphasizing a deeper appreciation of the cities rather than standard touristy details. The author articulates a clear focus on historical inquiries into why towns arose in their respective locations, how they developed socially and politically, and the distinctive artistic movements that emerged from them. Additionally, the introduction outlines the method of presentation, providing insight into how best to use the guide for those wishing to gain a thorough understanding of the art and architecture they will encounter during their travels.
