Description

In the last days of the Scandinavian journey that would become the basis of her great post-Revolutionary travel book, Mary Wollstonecraft wrote, 'I am weary of travelling - yet seem to have no home - no resting place to look to - I am strangely cast off'. From this starting point, Ingrid Horrocks reveals the significance of representations of women wanderers in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries, particularly in the work of women writers. She follows gendered, frequently reluctant wanderers beyond travel narratives into poetry, gothic romances, and sentimental novels, and places them within a long history of uses of the more traditional literary figure of the male wanderer. Drawing out the relationship between mobility and affect, and illuminating textual forms of wandering, Horrocks shows how paying attention to the figure of the woman wanderer sheds new light on women and travel, and alters assumptions about mobility's connection with freedom.

Author Biography:

She is the author of a travel book as well as of articles published in journals including Studies in Travel Writing, Studies in Romanticism, and English Literary History (ELH). She is also the editor of an edition of Mary Wollstonecraft's only travel book, co-editor of an edition of Charlotte Smith's poems, and the author of the pre-1840 chapter of A History of New Zealand Literature (2016).
