{"product_id":"way-makers","title":"Way Makers - An Anthology of Women’s Writing about Walking","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first anthology of women’s writing about walking, edited by Wanderers author Kerri Andrews.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe follow-up to the bestselling Wanderers, Kerri Andrews’s Way Makers, now available in paperback, is the first anthology of women’s writing about walking. Moving from the eighteenth century to the present day, and across poetry, letters, diaries, novels and more, this anthology traces a long tradition of women’s walking literature. Walking is, for the women included in this anthology, a source of creativity and comfort; it is a means of expressing grief, longing and desire. It is also a complicated activity: it represents freedom but is also sometimes tinged with danger and fear. What cannot be denied any longer is that walking was, and continues to be, an activity full of physical and emotional significance for women. This anthology is testament to the rich literary heritage created by generations of women walker-writers over the centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContent:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNTRODUCTION\u003cbr\u003eElizabeth Carter to Catherine Talbot, 1746\u003cbr\u003eFrances Burney, Evelina; or, The History of a Young Lady’s Entrance Into the World (1778)\u003cbr\u003eAnn Yearsley, ‘Clifton Hill’, from Selected Poems (1785)\u003cbr\u003eHelen Maria Williams, Letters Written in France, in the Summer 1790 (1790)\u003cbr\u003eCharlotte Smith, Rural Walks: In Dialogues: Intended for the Use of Young Persons (1795)\u003cbr\u003eMary Wollstonecraft to William Godwin, 10 September 1796\u003cbr\u003eDorothy Wordsworth, The Alfoxden Journal (1798)\u003cbr\u003eSarah Murray, Companion and Useful Guide to the Beauties of Scotland (1799)\u003cbr\u003eDorothy Wordsworth, The Grasmere Journal (1800)\u003cbr\u003eJane Austen to Cassandra Austen\u003cbr\u003eJane Austen, Pride and Prejudice (1813)\u003cbr\u003eMary Shelley, History of a Six Weeks’ Tour through a Part of France, Switzerland, Germany and Holland (1817)\u003cbr\u003eJane Austen, Persuasion (1817)\u003cbr\u003eMary Shelley, Frankenstein (1818)\u003cbr\u003eDorothy Wordsworth to William Johnson, 21 October 1818\u003cbr\u003eSarah Stoddart Hazlitt, The Journal of Sarah Stoddart Hazlitt, 16 May 1822\u003cbr\u003eEllen Weeton, Miss Weeton’s Journal of a Governess (1825)\u003cbr\u003eDorothy Wordsworth, ‘Thoughts on My Sick-Bed’ (1832)\u003cbr\u003eCharlotte Brontë to Emily Jane Brontë, 2 September 1843\u003cbr\u003eHarriet Martineau, A Year at Ambleside (1845)\u003cbr\u003eEmily Brontë, ‘Loud Without the Wind was Roaring’, from Poems, by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell (1846)\u003cbr\u003eChristina Rossetti, ‘The Trees’ Counselling’ (1847)\u003cbr\u003eEmily Brontë, Wuthering Heights (1847)\u003cbr\u003eHarriet Martineau to Mr H.
