In the last days of the Scandinavian journey that would become the
basis of her great post-Revolutionary travel book, Mary
Wollstonecraft wrote, 'I am weary of travelling - yet seem to have
no home - no resting place to look to - I am strangely cast off'.
From this starting point, Ingrid Horrocks reveals the significance
of representations of women wanderers in the late-eighteenth and
early-nineteenth centuries, particularly in the work of women
writers. She follows gendered, frequently reluctant wanderers
beyond travel narratives into poetry, gothic romances, and
sentimental novels, and places them within a long history of uses
of the more traditional literary figure of the male wanderer.
Drawing out the relationship between mobility and affect, and
illuminating textual forms of wandering, Horrocks shows how paying
attention to the figure of the woman wanderer sheds new light on
women and travel, and alters assumptions about mobility's
connection with freedom.
