Omschrijving
Looking at travel writing by British women from the seventeenth century on, Karen R. Lawrence asks an intriguing question: What happens when, instead of waiting patiently for Odysseus, Penelope voyages and records her journey...
Lawrence provides an important interrogation of travel writing as a genre and travel as a formative concept in women's identity. Women's narrative wandering is, according to Lawrence, a 'risky' and 'rewardingly excessive' phenomenon (240), of which Penelope Voyages is both an analysis and an example.
Karen R. Lawrence is Professor of English at the University of Utah. She is the author of books including The Odyssey of Style in Ulysses and the editor of Decolonizing Traditions: New Views of Twentieth-Century "British" Literary Canons and The McGraw-Hill Guide to English Literature.
