Description
Described by The Morning Post as exhibiting 'facilities of observation never before possessed by a European lady', Anne Katharine Elwood was the ideal narrator for an exotic and exciting travel journal.
The first woman to travel overland to India, she acquired a reputation as a pioneer even before her diary was published.
When it first appeared in 1830 this two-volume work attracted much comment and praise among critics and the general public alike.
Elwood's account introduces readers to locations, cultures and sights as diverse as the duomo of Turin, a picnic at the Pyramids, and 'the private lives of Mahometan and Hindoo Ladies (hitherto a mystery)'.
