Description

British imperial expansion in the 19th century saw a corresponding increase in travel writing, which seemed to bring exotic realms within the grasp of the reading public. Although these journals were a source of ethnographic and cultural information about other societies, they also reflected the ideologies and stereotypes that set "native" apart as "other" or "subhuman." Further, they set the stage for a particular kind of intervention--colonialism. Maria Callcott's journals of her travels are important for their gendered perspective. She also authored many children's books.
