See No Evil
Christine Lamont and David Spencer were two young Canadian idealists who traveled to Latin America as human rights workers.

Life in Post-War Britain
On New Year’s Day 1946, the people of Britain desperately wanted to look forward to a new and better life.

During the late 18th and early 19th centuries, travel and tourism in Scotland changed radically, from a time when there were very few travellers and no provision for those that there were, through to Scotland’s emergence as a fully fledged tourist destination with the necessary physical and economic infrastructure. As the experience of travelling in Scotland changed, so too did the ways in which travellers wrote about their experiences.

It further examines the specific ways in which those women represented themselves and their travels and looks at the relationship of gender to travel writing, relating that to issues of production and reception as well as to questions of discourse.
