Description


This book is a scholarly reassessment of the travel writings of a range of authors in the context of a relatively little discussed tradition of women travel writers of the late nineteenth century. Primary texts by Isabella Bird, Florence Dixie, and Kate Marsden, bestsellers when they appeared, are discussed in terms of their place in the social, cultural, literary, and political milieus of the late nineteenth century.
