Abstract

Discussions of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European travel have long tended to over-apply the model of the grand tour. It is increasingly recognized now that many British journeys to the Continent knew different motivations and itineraries, and were made from different subject positions than that of the young male aristocrat. An alternative model proposed for female travelers has its own limitations, however. It presents women as more open-minded than men, with a greater eye for detail and keen to escape patriarchal confinement at home. Yet female travelers’ wish and capacity to offer an alternative to the grand-tourist gaze was limited. Still, travel, travel writing, and publishing offered women a chance to explore new social models and lifestyles and develop new forms of personal independence.

性别、好奇心和大旅行
关于十八、十九世纪欧洲旅行的讨论,长期以来都倾向于过度使用大旅行的模式。现在越来越多的人认识到,许多前往欧洲大陆的英国人有着不同的动机和行程,他们所处的主体地位也与年轻的男性贵族不同。然而,为女性旅行者提出的另一种模式也有其局限性。它把女性描绘得比男性更开放,对细节有更敏锐的眼光,渴望摆脱家中父权的束缚。然而,女性旅行者的愿望和能力是有限的,她们提供了一种替代大游客目光的选择。尽管如此,旅行、旅行写作和出版为女性提供了一个探索新的社会模式和生活方式的机会,并发展了新的个人独立形式。
