DWTW: A Database of Women’s Travel Writing, 1780-1840

The Database of Women’s Travel Writing (DWTW) provides full and accurate bibliographical records for nearly 200 titles, all the known books of travel published in Britain and Ireland by women between 1780 and 1840.

The database is part of a larger database project, based in the University of Wolverhampton’s Centre for Transnational and Transcultural Research, which will include all travel books published in this period.

You can search the database by combinations of author, title, date of publication, publisher, genre, and regional content.
