Worlds of Knowledge in Women's Travel Writing rediscovers the works
of a wide range of authors from the eighteenth to the twentieth
century. A stowaway on a voyage circumnavigating the globe; a
nineteenth-century visitor to schools in Japan; an Indian activist
undertaking a pilgrimage to Iraq-these are some of the women whose
experiences come to life in this volume. Worlds of Knowledge
explores travel writing as a genre for communicating information
about other cultures and for testing assumptions about the nature
and extent of women's expertise. The book challenges the frequent
focus in travel studies on English-language texts by exploring
works in French and Urdu as well as English and focusing on
journeys to France, Spain, Turkey, Iran, Iraq, India, Ethiopia,
Japan, Australia, and the Falkland Islands. Written by experts in a
wide range of fields, this interdisciplinary volume sheds new light
on the range, innovation, and erudition of travel narratives by
women.
