The travel narratives of Ella Maillart

"The Travel Narratives of Ella Maillart: (En)Gendering the Quest offers an in-depth analysis of Maillart's travel narratives in the context of colonial and postcolonial theory and gender studies. Sara Steinert Borella's comparative study focuses on competing modes of discourse, modes of transport, and the dual nature of the journey. Her critical analysis explores questions of gender, genre, and nationality as she inscribes Ella Maillart onto the map of twentieth-century travel writers."--Jacket.
