{"product_id":"an-anthology-of-womens-travel-shirley-foster-9780719050183","title":"An Anthology of Women's Travel Writings","description":"This anthology aims to challenge stereotypes of women travellers. Rather than simply presenting writings by Victorian women who travelled bravely around the world disregarding social convention and danger, the editors present a range of writing and possible ways of being a woman traveller. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAs well as the 'eccentric' woman traveller, the editors have included writings by those who might be seen as failed travellers, cautious and conventional travellers and those who did not conform to the adventurous heroine stereotype. Because travelling as a woman and writing as a woman presents the author with a number of textual problems which must be negotiated, Foster and Mills have chosen to include writings which confronted these problems and which resolved them (or did not resolve them) in different ways. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese textual problems include the depiction of other women, the representation of spatial relations, the negotiations undertaken in relation to the adventure heroine narrative and character and the position taken by the author in relation to the representation of knowledge. These issues are all crucial in relation to travel writing by women, and the women, whose writing has been collected together in this anthology have made bold decisions in relation to them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shirley Foster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719050189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719050183\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/19\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 252\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d","brand":"Shirley Foster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44790053077247,"sku":"9780719050183","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08117750-9fa0-40bd-8d90-177c7da0abf4.jpg?v=1707287821","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/an-anthology-of-womens-travel-shirley-foster-9780719050183","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
