Victorian Women and the Economies of Travel, Translation and Culture, 1830–1870

Using the metaphor of the published journey, whether it involves actual travel or translation, Johnston focuses on the relationships of various British women travellers, translators and journalists, mainly with continental Europe. Devoted in part to case studies of women such as Anna Jameson and Mary Howitt, Johnston's book shows women establishing themselves as robust participants in the publishing history and as actors in the broad business of culture.
