Women Writing the Home Tour, 1682–1812

Autor Zoë Kinsley
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 feb 2017
Between the late seventeenth and the early nineteenth century, the possibilities for travelling within Britain became increasingly various owing to improved transport systems and the popularization of numerous tourist spots. Women Writing the Home Tour, 1682-1812 examines women's participation in that burgeoning touristic tradition, considering the ways in which the changing face of British travel and its writing can be traced through the accounts produced by the women who journeyed England, Scotland, and Wales during this important period. This book explores female-authored home tour travel narratives in print, as well as manuscript works that have hitherto been neglected in criticism. Discussing texts produced by authors including Celia Fiennes, Ann Radcliffe and Dorothy Wordsworth alongside the works of lesser-known travellers such as Mary Morgan and Dorothy Richardson, Kinsley considers the construction, and also the destabilization, of gender, class, and national identity through chapters that emphasize the diversity and complexity of this rich body of writings.

Recenzii

’Well grounded, Women Writing the Home Tour contributes to travel and tourism, women’s literary culture, and British national identity.’ The Scriblerian 'Kinsley makes a fine book out of an underwritten subject that is also overwritten elsewhere in criticism. Everyone will learn something from her: it offers fresh materials, intelligent orchestrations and an impressive connection of bigger pictures and fine details.' Women’s Writing '... a substantial contribution to current scholarly understandings of literary culture, aesthetic ideals, and the construction of feminine and British identities in the period.' Notes and Queries

Descriere

Focusing on female-authored home tour travel narratives, this study maps the way in which the changing face of British travel and its writing can be traced through the accounts of the women who participated in that tradition. Within these women's travelogues Kinsley explores the matters of gender, class, and national identity, and her consideration of manuscript travelogues alongside printed texts enhances our understanding of the issues being raised.
