- This sole-authored long-form monograph of approximately 120,000 words develops an original and extensive project of research to consider six women who travelled and used their resulting narratives strategically to enter the literary market place in the eighteenth century. The extended comparative research process involved gathering early printed books (with one exception, unavailable in modern editions) from libraries across the UK, US, and Australia; the research and writing took over ten years. It is the first sustained study of women’s travel outside Britain in this period and is original in both its selection and methodological approach to its materials.
