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 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. In Volume 1, Jameson
describes her difficulty adapting to the winter cold, her
impressions of Ontario's landscape, peoples, and political system,
and her reflections on literature, especially Goethe. For more
