Maiden Voyages and Infant Colonies
by
In the 1780s in Britain, two very different places -- Sierra Leone and Botany Bay -- were mooted as possible sites for a penal colony. In the end, Botany Bay won the day and Sierra Leone became instead an experimental self-governing colony for ex-Slaves, the distant flagship of a vigorous popular movement at home against the slave trade. This fully annotated edition of Anna Maria Falconbridge's Two Voyages to Sierra Leone (1794) and Mary Ann Parker's A Voyage Round the World (1795) brings together in one volume the first published accounts by women of these new sites of British colonization. Laying the texts alongside one another brings into illuminating conjunction Britain's concurrent, late eighteenth-century systems of transportation and resettlement, convictism and slavery. Their republication in modern format will also help to focus current debates about the constitution of national, racial and sexual identities and the relationship between imperial and authorial power. Two Voyages to Sierra Leone is a lively and controversial text. Written as a series of letters to an intimate female friend, it is principally concerned to expose the bungling, hypocrisy and greed of an African imperial venture run by some of Britain's leading abolitionists. It is an important text for exploring some of the complexities surrounding women's intervention in the pro and anti-slavery debates of the age. Recently married to a slave-trade surgeon turned passionate abolitionist, Falconbridge charts the demise of her marriage amidst flirtations with the local slave traders and eventual defection from abolitionism. Her pro-slavery position is striking for its alliance with strong anti-colonial andpro-woman views. Mary Ann Parker's account of the first few years of settlement at Port Jackson covers social visiting and picnicking, the unique flora and fauna and observations on many of the colony's leading players. There are some forthright comments on the horrors of transportation and a 'manners and customs' portrait of local aborigines under the rubric 'Observations on the Slave Trade'.
Being Martha

Travels with Myself and Another A Memoir
Gellhorn, Martha
Tarcher. Very Good with no dust jacket. 2001. Paperback. 1 x 8.2 x 5.8 Inches; 304 pages; A brilliantly witty and intelligent memoir of the adventures, discoveries, rescues, and narrow escapes of Martha Gellhorn, one of America's most important war correspondents and the third wife of Ernest Hemingway.<br><br>"Gellhorn is incapable of writing a dull sentence."<br>-<i>The Times</i> (London)<br><br>"Martha Gellhorn was so fearless in a male way, and yet utterly capable of making men melt," writes <i>New Yorker</i> literary editor Bill Buford. As a journalist, Gellhorn covered every military conflict from the Spanish Civil War to Vietnam and Nicaragua. She also bewitched Eleanor Roosevelt's secret love and enraptured Ernest Hemingway with her courage as they dodged shell fire together.<br><br>Hemingway is, of course, the unnamed "other" in the title of this tart memoir, first published in 1979, in which Gellhorn describes her globe-spanning adventures, both accompanied and alone. With razor-sharp humor and exceptional insight into place and character, she tells of a tense week spent among dissidents in Moscow; long days whiled away in a disused water tank with hippies clustered at Eilat on the Red Sea; and her journeys by sampan and horse to the interior of China during the Sino-Japanese War.<br><br>Now including a foreward by Bill Buford and photographs of Gellhorn with Hemingway, Dorothy Parker, Madame Chiang Kai-shek, Gary Cooper, and others, this new edition rediscovers the voice of an extraordinary woman and brings back into print an irresistibly entertaining classic. .
