"A Visit to the Monastery of La Trappe in 1817" by W. D. Fellowes is a travelogue composed during the early 19th century. This work presents a firsthand account of Fellowes' exploration through various regions of France, particularly detailing his visit to the austere Trappist monastery La Trappe and the historical landscapes surrounding it. The narrative likely delves into themes of spirituality, nature, and the contrasts between human endeavors and the serenity of monastic life. The opening of the travelogue sets the stage for Fellowes' journey, describing his route from Paris to Mortagne and his motivation to visit La Trappe motivated by a desire to experience its renowned austerities firsthand. Fellowes paints a vivid picture of the picturesque landscapes and rich historical significance encountered during his travels. He describes his encounters with locals, his guide through dark, ominous forests, and the solemn grace of the monastery and its inhabitants, preparing readers for an immersive exploration of both the physical and spiritual dimensions of his journey.
