"This book derives from the conviction that Marguerite Blessington (1788-1849) merits
scholarly attention as a travel writer, and thus offers the first detailed analysis
of Blessington's four travel books: 'A Tour in The Isle of Wight, in the Autumn of
1820' (1822), 'Journal of a Tour through the Netherlands to Paris in 1821' (1822),
'The Idler in Italy' (1839) and 'The Idler in France' (1841). It argues that travelling
and travel writing provided Blessington with endless opportunities to reshape her
public personae, demonstrating that her predilection for self-fashioning was related
to the various tendencies in tourism and literature as well as the changing aesthetic
and social trends in the first half of the nineteenth century."
