Women, Writing, and Travel in the Eighteenth Century
«'Impressive in its geographical scope … this valuable contribution to studies in travel writing reanimates crucial voices in eighteenth-century literature and culture. Women, Writing, and Travel in the Eighteenth Century would interest scholars focused on alternative literary histories of subjectivity (as distinct from the novel), premodern travel writing, women's writing, eighteenth-century colonial discourse, the emergence of a secular middle class, politics and British aristocratic identity, eighteenth-century Russia and the Levant, and more.' Laura Williamson Ambrose, Early Modern Women: An Interdisciplinary Journal»

Within a genre distinguished by its diversity, curiosity, and experimental impulses, Katrina O'Loughlin investigates not just how women in the eighteenth century experienced travel, but also how travel writing facilitated their participation in literary and political culture.
