商品描述
During the long nineteenth century, British women reframed the masculine paradigm of the Grand Tour. They created a feminist travel gaze, intentionally or unintentionally, that differs from male peers. Unlike their brothers, who went in search of educational refinement, those who could departed from their English homes for the great Italian cities of Florence, Naples, and Rome to escape personal disappointments and the social limitations posed by parents, spouses, and society. The opportunities and anonymity of travel to a distant land and new-found freedoms fostered a hybrid female persona who could fulfil her personal and creative ambitions. Their significant achievements, entrepreneurial journalism, literary masterpieces, and social advocacy for their gender redefined the contours of the Anglo-Italian cultural landscape and travel for women. The historical evidence presented here testifies to the life- changing nature of travel and firmly demonstrates how British women's history and literature enriches and broadens narratives about Britain and the World.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
在漫長的十九世紀期間，英國女性重新詮釋了大旅行的男性範式。她們創造了一種女性主義的旅行視角，無論是有意還是無意，與男性同儕有所不同。與那些尋求教育提升的兄弟們不同，那些能夠出行的女性離開英國的家，前往佛羅倫斯、那不勒斯和羅馬等偉大的意大利城市，以逃避個人的失望以及父母、配偶和社會所施加的社會限制。前往遙遠土地的旅行所帶來的機會和匿名性，以及新獲得的自由，培養了一種混合的女性形象，使她能夠實現個人和創意的抱負。她們在創業新聞、文學傑作和為性別發聲的社會倡導方面取得的重大成就，重新定義了英意文化景觀的輪廓以及女性的旅行方式。這裡呈現的歷史證據證明了旅行對生活的改變性質，並堅定地顯示出英國女性的歷史和文學如何豐富和拓展有關英國及世界的敘事。
