MARIA GRAHAM'S JOURNAL OF A VOYAGE TO BRAZIL is a scholarly edition
of nineteenth century travel writer Graham's travel narrative first
published in 1824. One of only a few women travelers to have
written about her experiences in South America in the early
nineteenth century, Graham provides an invaluable first-hand
account of Brazil and its transformation from a Portuguese colony
to an independent nation. She offers not only observations about
social customs, politics, and the role of the British in South
America but also insights into Brazilian slavery at a time of
rising abolitionist activism. This edition is unique in
incorporating Graham's own unpublished corrections to her first
edition and in bringing together supplementary materials to
contextualize the journal, including contemporary reviews of her
narrative, early nineteenth century maps of Brazil, and Graham's
unpublished autobiographical and historical sketch, "Life of Don
Pedro." The edition also provides an editors' introduction
situating Graham's narrative in relation to the few extant travel
narratives about Brazil-all written by men-as well as within the
socio-historical and cultural landscape of her time, with
particular focus on abolitionist discourses and the process of
Brazilian independence. Graham actively imagined Brazil as a New
World site of extraordinary possibility, and she envisioned herself
as furthering the country's development; she critiqued slavery in
particular as a practice antithetical to Brazil's transformation
into a modern, civilized nation. Graham creates a complex, and
sometimes contradictory, portrait of Brazil as a wilderness ripe
with plenitude and possibility as well as an emergent nation-state,
a visionary site of New World modernity. ABOUT THE AUTHORS:

Wooster, received her PhD in English Literature from Princeton
University. In addition to essays on nineteenth century British
travelers in Latin America, she is author of CONSUMING FICTIONS:

2003). Hayward's academic awards include an NEH Summer Stipend

travellers in the Americas, with particular focus on gendered
perspectives and issues of national identity. M. SOLEDAD CABALLERO

published articles about women travel writers Maria Dundas Graham
and Frances Calderon de la Barca in scholarly journals as well as
edited collections. She has also published a short memoir piece
about bilingualism. Currently she is working on a longer project
about the aesthetics of monstrosity in the nineteenth century, in
particular how ideas of the monstrous map onto foreign bodies or
alienated bodies in the body politics of late eighteenth and early
nineteenth century England.
