Description:A book of exploration and discovery, celebrating the 175th anniversary of The London Library I hum to myself as I stand looking up at the sky, filled to overflowing with the joy of liberty As the British Empire grew, so too did the scope and range of travel writing. From young men seeking outdoor adventure to intrepid ladies of a certain age discovering other cultures, Victorian explorers were going further and writing more.But for Lady Colin Campbell—that infamous almost-divorcee with “the unbridled lust of a Messalina and the indelicate readiness of a common harlot”—travel writing was no sterile, fact-driven pursuit. Her adventures up and down European mountains, through unsavoury and unexpected parts of London, by means of delayed train or unstable bicycle, are more than a guidebook.
