This eight-volume facsimile set comprises firsthand accounts of
continental travel in the early nineteenth century. Anne Carter
witnesses the monarchy's return to power and the capital in her
visit to Paris, while Frances Jane Carey ranges all over the
country and particularizes the customs and everyday existence of
its people. Marianne Baillie ventures much further afield in her
1819 work, exploring France, Italy and Switzerland, among other
nations, while Elizabeth Byron daringly rides a boat along the
Loire, defying the gendarmes as she navigates the culture and
history she finds on the river's banks as well as the contemporary
political exchanges that threaten to stop her tour. Each writer is
excited about visiting new realms while also affirming the
differences between their own country's practices and landscapes
and those they witness on their Continental tours.
