Women's Travel Writings in Post-Napoleonic France, Part I (Hardcover)

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.
