Sex Variant Women in Literature by Jeannette H Foster
The first book of its kind to study the Romantic obsession with the antique lands of Ethiopia, Egypt, India, and Mexico, Curiosity and the Aesthetics of Travel Writing is an important contribution to the recent wave of interest in exotic travel writing. Drawing generously on both original texts and modern scholarship in literature, history, geography, and anthropology, it focuses on the unstable discourse of curiosity to offer an important reformulation of the relations between literature, aesthetics, and colonialism in the period.
A resident of the Big Island, Jeanette Foster has skied the slopes of Mauna Kea--during a Fourth of July ski meet, no less--and gone scuba diving with manta rays off the Kona Coast. A prolific writer widely published in travel, sports, and adventure magazines, she's also a contributing editor to Hawaii magazine, the editor of Zagat's Survey to Hawaii's Top Restaurants, and the Hawaii chapter author of 1,000 Places to See in the U.S.A. and Canada Before You Die. In addition to writing this guide, Jeanette is the author of Frommer's Hawaii 2011; Frommer's Maui 2011; Frommer's Kauai; Frommer's Hawaii with Kids; Frommer's Honolulu, Waikiki & Oahu; Frommer's Hawaii Day by Day; and Frommer's Maui Day by Day.
