ABSTRACT

This chapter argues while the reference to home here is to Jamesons dependent parents and sisters back in England, it is not to this home that Jameson journeys in her mind during the long, bitter winter months in Canada, of which the first third of Winter Studies and Summer Rambles in Canada is comprised. The author wants to extend the argument regarding Jamesons journey to Elsewhere to suggest that all the material in her book about Canada is very much a part of the travel writing genre as described by Rita Monticelli: a genre constructed through a process of translations and intertextual movements a process that is directed towards women's education and emancipation in an international, trans-European dimension. Jameson combined her imaginative capacities and desires with a more pragmatic approach when it came to her journey elsewhere.
