Tourists and Travellers

Betty Hagglund is a Research Fellow on the ‘Maria Graham: The Woman Writer and the Cultures of Travel, Science and Publishing in the early 19th century’ project at Nottingham Trent University. She has published extensively on travel writing and women’s writing of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. She is the editor of three volumes of women’s nineteenth-century travel writing about Italy published by Pickering and Chatto.

Comprehensively and lucidly linking gender with the geography, literary conventions, and historical meanings of English tourism in Scotland between 1770 and 1830, Tourists and Travellers is at the cutting edge of scholarship on women's travel writing.
