During the long nineteenth century, British women reframed the masculine paradigm of the Grand Tour. They created a feminist travel gaze, intentionally or unintentionally, that differs from male peers. Unlike their brothers, who went in search of educational refinement, those who could departed from their English homes for the great Italian cities of Florence, Naples, and Rome to escape personal disappointments and the social limitations posed by parents, spouses, and society. The opportunities and anonymity of travel to a distant land and new-found freedoms fostered a hybrid female persona who could fulfil her personal and creative ambitions. Their significant achievements, entrepreneurial journalism, literary masterpieces, and social advocacy for their gender redefined the contours of the Anglo-Italian cultural landscape and travel for women. The historical evidence presented here testifies to the life- changing nature of travel and firmly demonstrates how British women’s history and literature enriches and broadens narratives about Britain and the World.

Download Traveling Irishness in the Long Nineteenth Century Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Exploring the effects of traveling, migration, and other forms of cultural contact, particularly within Europe, this edited collection explores the act of traveling and the representation of traveling by Irish men and women from diverse walks of life in the period between Grattan’s Parliament (1782) and World War I (1914). This was a period marked by an increasing physical and cultural mobility of Irish throughout Britain, Continental Europe, the Americas, and the Pacific. Travel was undertaken for a variety of reasons: during the Romantic period, the ‘Grand Tour’ and what is now sometimes referred to as medical tourism brought Irish artists and intellectuals to Europe, where cultural exchanges with other writers, artists, and thinkers inspired them to introduce novel ideas and cultural forms to their Irish audiences. Showing this impact of the nineteenth-century Irish across national borders and their engagement with global cultural and linguistic traditions, the volume will provide novel insights into the transcultural spheres of the arts, literature, politics, and translation in which they were active.

Download Reading Transatlantic Girlhood in the Long Nineteenth Century Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This collection is the first of its kind to interrogate both literal and metaphorical transatlantic exchanges of culture and ideas in nineteenth-century girls’ fiction. As such, it initiates conversations about how the motif of travel in literature taught nineteenth-century girl audiences to reexamine their own cultural biases by offering a fresh perspective on literature that is often studied primarily within a national context. Women and children in nineteenth-century America are often described as being tied to the home and the domestic sphere, but this collection challenges this categorization and shows that girls in particular were often expected to go abroad and to learn new cultural frames in order to enter the realm of adulthood; those who could not afford to go abroad literally could do so through the stories that traveled to them from other lands or the stories they read of others’ travels. Via transatlantic exchange, then, authors, readers, and the characters in the texts covered in this collection confront the idea of what constitutes the self. Books examined in this volume include Adeline Trafton’s An American Girl Abroad (1872), Johanna Spyri’s Heidi (1881), and Elizabeth W. Champney’s eleven-book Vassar Girl Series (1883-92), among others.
