- This Special Issue emerges out of a BA SRG-funded research project conducted by Thompson into the career of Maria Graham (1785-1842), and more specifically out of a two-day international conference on women’s travel writing organised by Thompson in 2014 at Chawton House Library. The conference and subsequently the Special Issue’s aim was to explore the extent to which 18th and 19th-century travel writing was a medium whereby women writers could garner respect from contemporaries and so achieve significant intellectual and cultural authority. Three of the 5 articles included here were initially presented as papers at CHL; two were solicited by a Call for supplementary material subsequently put out by Thompson. In the Special Issue, the Introduction and Maria Graham article are both 100% Thompson’s work. As editor, Thompson also offered guidance at various stages on the other 4 articles, and did final editing, proofreading etc. on all 6 articles prior to submission to the journal.
