This important new collection explores representations of late
seventeenth- through mid-nineteenth-century transatlantic women
travelers across a range of historical and literary works. While at
one time transatlantic studies concentrated predominantly on
men’s travels, this volume highlights the resilience of women who
ventured voluntarily and by force across the Atlantic—some
seeking mobility, adventure, knowledge, wealth, and freedom, and
others surviving subjugation, capture, and enslavement. The essays
gathered here concern themselves with the fictional and the
historical, national and geographic location, racial and ethnic
identities, and the configuration of the transatlantic world in
increasingly taught texts such as The Female American and The Woman
of Colour, as well as less familiar material such as Merian’s
writing on the insects of Surinam and Falconbridge’s travels to
Sierra Leone. Intersectional in its approach, and with an afterword
by Eve Tavor Bannet, this essential collection will prove
indispensable as it provides fresh new perspectives on
transatlantic texts and women’s travel therein across the long
eighteenth century. Â
