Published by Carey, Lea, and Blanchard, Philadelphia, 1837
First American edition, complete in two volumes. 8vo, pp xlv (memoir of the author by Dalloway), 397 + ads; [13]-444, including index. Robinson (Wayward Woman) says Lady Montagu (1689-1762) was "the first authoress to travel abroad for mere curiosity's sake and call herself, with pride, a traveller," and praises "the unprecedented adventurousness of her journey to Turkey and the skill with which she described its strangeness." She left England with her husband (who had been appointed ambassador to Turkey) in 1716. The journey to Constantinople overland from Holland took them a year, and they remained there for eighteen months. Her letters, circulated in manuscript during her lifetime but published posthumously, "revealed to their readers for the first time what lay behind the jewelled curtain of the East: an it was not at all what they might have expected. The slave of the seraglio, she said, were far less put-upon than servants back home, and Turkish women had far more liberty than English woman. Disguised and unrecognizable in their capes and veils. they lived delicious lives of 'perpetual masquerade': the perfect front for intrigue and adventurism. And far from swooning over the fabled excesses of Turkish life, Lady Mary merely concluded that 'gallantry and good breeding are as different, in different climates, as morality and religion. Who have the rightest notions of both, we shall never know." (Robinson p. 33). Scarce in this edition.

Shelved above WWII. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762) was an English aristocrat, writer, and poet. She spent her early life in England. In 1712, she married Edward Wortley Montagu, who later served as the British ambassador to the Sublime Porte. Lady Mary joined her husband in the Ottoman excursion, where she was to spend the next two years of her life. During her time there, Lady Mary wrote extensively on her experience as a woman in Ottoman Istanbul. Lady Mary is today chiefly remembered for her letters, particularly her Turkish Embassy Letters describing her travels to the Ottoman Empire, as wife to the British ambassador to Turkey, which Billie Melman describes as "the very first example of a secular work by a woman about the Muslim Orient". Aside from her writing, Mary is also known for introducing and advocating for smallpox inoculation to Britain after her return from Turkey. Her writings address and challenge the hindering contemporary social attitudes towards women and their intellectual and social growth. (via Wikipedia) As a noblewoman and wife of an ambassador, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu had a much broader knowledge of the world than someone of Jane Austen's more humble upbringing. However, as little as Jane Austen herself traveled, and though she never left England, she drew upon the stories her naval brothers told of their adventures on the Continent and in the Americas to gain a wider understanding of politics and culture. Both Lady Mary and Jane Austen wrote about what was familiar to them, within their sphere and scope, and it is interesting to compare the two women's very different experiences of a similar period in British history. 1361054.
