For the elite of late Georgian Britain, c. 1760 – 1837, mobility was profoundly shaped by the everyday experience of staying at inns while on the road. Collectively, as essential stage-stops for travellers and horses, inns enabled long journeys, while individually inns were the sites of the countless small-scale travel-related mobilities that were acted out in yards, parlours and bedchambers. Alongside road-making and coach-building which both reached peaks of activity and improvement in the late eighteenth to early nineteenth century, the unprecedented number of inns built and operated in the same period was fundamental to increased mobility across all social ranks. However, not all inns were the same and different inns served different social ranks. Elite travellers stayed exclusively at ‘principal inns’, those inns at the apex of a socially-ranked hierarchy of public houses and hostelries. The principal inns built in this boom period were very different buildings from the common inn or alehouse. As a group, they were the largest, most efficient, most fashionable and architecturally ambitious – predominantly classically styled – buildings of their type built before or since. Located on every major road, every port and in every market and county town, they were everywhere. Moreover, by the late eighteenth-century, elite inns were highly similar to each other, serving not just high-quality food and drink in refined spaces but similar food and drink in spaces that were very much the same from one inn to the next. A picture emerges, therefore, not of individual instances of style or luxury but of an extraordinary visual, spatial and material coherence across elite inns nationwide; this

格鲁吉亚晚期英国的旅馆和精英流动

对于格鲁吉亚晚期英国的精英，c。1760 年至 1837 年，在旅途中入住旅馆的日常经历深刻地影响了出行方式。总的来说，客栈作为旅行者和马匹必不可少的停靠站，可以实现长途旅行，而个别客栈则是无数在院子里、客厅和卧室中进行的与旅行相关的小规模移动的场所。除了在 18 世纪末至 19 世纪初达到顶峰和改善的道路建设和马车建设之外，同期建造和运营的客栈数量史无前例，这对于提高所有社会阶层的流动性至关重要。然而，并不是所有的客栈都是一样的，不同的客栈服务于不同的社会阶层。精英旅客只住在“主客栈”，这些旅馆处于社会等级的公共房屋和旅馆等级的顶端。在这个繁荣时期建造的主要旅馆与普通旅馆或啤酒屋截然不同。作为一个整体，它们是之前或之后建造的最大、最高效、最时尚、最雄心勃勃的建筑——主要是古典风格的建筑。在每一条主要道路，每一个港口，每一个市场和县城，它们无处不在。此外，到了 18 世纪后期，精英客栈彼此高度相似，不仅在精致的空间中提供高品质的食品和饮料，而且在一个客栈到另一个非常相似的空间中提供相似的食品和饮料。因此，出现的图片不是风格或奢华的个别实例，而是非凡的视觉效果，全国精英旅馆的空间和物质一致性；这
