The eighteenth century witnessed the publication of an
unprecedented number of voyages and travels, genuine and fictional.
Within a genre distinguished by its diversity, curiosity, and
experimental impulses, Katrina O'Loughlin investigates not just how
women in the eighteenth century experienced travel, but also how
travel writing facilitated their participation in literary and
political culture. She canvases a range of accounts by intrepid
women, including Lady Mary Wortley Montagu's Turkish Embassy
Letters, Lady Craven's Journey through the Crimea to
Constantinople, Eliza Justice's A Voyage to Russia, and Anna Maria
Falconbridge's Narrative of Two Voyages to the River Sierra Leone.
Moving from Ottoman courts to theatres of war, O'Loughlin shows how
gender frames access to people and spaces outside Enlightenment and
Romantic Britain, and how travel provides women with a powerful
cultural form for re-imagining their place in the world.
