The Romantic Period saw a massive advance in British colonial
expansion, which was accompanied by a corresponding expansion in
travel writings. These published letters, journals and books
provided British readers with detailed accounts of new and exotic
locations and thus engaged the reading public with expansionist
enterprises. Covering the period of the French Revolution up until
Victoria's ascendancy to the throne, and featuring journeys
spanning France and central Europe, India, and South America, this
collection brings together some of the most interesting travel
accounts written by women at this time. The authors included come
from a variety of social backgrounds and their written styles are
as varied as their journeys. For instance, Williams and Morgan were
professional writers who may be described as 'feminists', while Fay
and Falconbridge were ordinary women who had been through
extraordinary experiences.
