A new collection of Marianne North's letters and travel writing.

Marianne North's Travel Writing offers fresh insight into the pioneering traveler and artist Marianne North (1830-1890). Excerpts from her personal correspondence and passages from her published autobiography combine to produce a vivid first-person account revealing her interests, opinions, and experiences, along with all the pleasures and frustrations of prolonged overseas travel. Richly illustrated with facsimiles of letters and pen sketches she sent to friends, this book also features reproductions of her celebrated oil paintings.

The book relays pertinent details about North's life and considers her varied attitudes towards the people she met and the places she visited, including what her writings and paintings may suggest about her attitudes to empire and colonialism. The chapter sequence is chronological (from North America to Chile), with multiple trips to the same country grouped together and the relevant year indicated. A final chapter covers her English homes, particularly her London flat, which she felt was "more like home than any other."
