British Women's Travel to Greece, 1840-1914IAS Seminar Room, Millburn HouseVisiting speaker: Dr Churnjeet Mahn (University of Surrey) British Women's Travel to Greece, 1840-1914 (Ashgate, 2012) offers a discussion of how representations of Greece in British women's writing moved from emphasising the orient and Islam to emphasising Christianity and the classics. By discussing work of anthropologists, ethnographers, journalists, archaeologists and tourists, this study considers how this shift reflected an emerging group of professional women writers and scholars who used their mastery of Greece as a shorthand for mastering the academy.
