Julia Pardoe (1804 62) was famous for her historical biographies
(some of which are also reissued in the Cambridge Library
Collection), but this two-volume work, first published in 1837,
arose from a visit to Turkey made by Pardoe and her father in 1836.
It was very successful, with new editions appearing over the next
twenty years, while Pardoe was considered to be second only to Lady
Mary Wortley Montagu among female writers on Turkey. Attempting to
give her readers 'a more just and complete insight into Turkish
domestic life, than they have hitherto been enabled to obtain', in
Volume 2 Pardoe travels in western Turkey, visiting Bursa, the
former Ottoman capital, and encountering dervishes, hot springs and
tortoises, before returning to Europe via the Black Sea and the
Danube. Her lively and observant account of life in the declining
but still powerful Ottoman empire remains of great interest."
