Books by Marianne North

Marianne North (1830-90), the Victorian botanist and painter, led a remarkable life, travelling independently to exotic locations to paint flora in their natural surroundings. This two-volume collection of her memoirs, edited by her sister and published in 1892, records her tropical journeys and the fascinating stories behind her art.

Marianne North was the most popular and well-known lady-traveller in the 19th century England. This book offers a chronological history of her travelling, and represents research material on Victorian lady travellers.
