Anna Jameson (1794 1860) was an inspirational figure to a
generation of young women writers and artists including Barbara
Bodichon and Bessie Rayner Parkes. Her work was reviewed by leading
figures such as Mary Shelley and Charles Kingsley, and even Thomas
Carlyle, though less complimentary, referred to her as the
'celebrated Mrs Jamieson'. This book, first published in 1838,
secured her already growing reputation as a writer of history,
literary criticism and travel literature, and has been popular ever
since. Inspired by a journey made to support the career of her
estranged husband, one of its key themes is the condition of women,
which recurs regularly in Jameson's writing. Volume 3 centres on a
journey up Lake Huron and describes Native American settlements,
languages, customs, and beliefs, revealing her ambivalent feelings
of both curiosity and revulsion. For more information on this
