Books in the Chawton House Library: Women's Travel Writings series

This new collection assembles seven accounts of women who visited and resided in India between 1760 and 1840. This volume includes two texts, Ann Deane, A Tour Through the Upper Provinces of Hindostan (1823) and Julia Maitland, Letters from Madras (1846).

Contains Anne Grant, Letters from the Mountains (1806) and E I Spence, Letters from the North Highlands (1817). These volumes offer both a view of Scottish Highland life at a time of major historical transition and an insight into women's contributions to the literary construction of one of the major sites and sources of the Romantic picturesque.

Part II of this edition reproduces The Tour of Africa, first published in 1821 by Catherine Hutton
