Produktbeschreibung

Beginning with the publication of the first Murray guidebook to Greece in 1840 and ending with Virginia Woolf's journey to Athens, Mahn offers a genealogy of British women's travel literature about Greece. Her fascinating and historically contextualized study examines first-hand accounts by archaeologists, ethnographers, journalists and tourists as she charts women's renderings of Modern Greece through a series of discursive lenses.
