Women’s Travel Writings in North Africa and the Middle East, Part II vol 5: Catherine Hutton, The Tour of Africa (1819-21) Volume II

Part II of this edition reproduces The Tour of Africa, first published in 1821 by Catherine Hutton. Although framed as a first-person narrative, the three-volume work is in fact a compilation of existing travel accounts. Hutton’s Tour raises challenging questions about intertextuality in nineteenth-century women’s travel writing.
