WAY MAKERS (WOMENS WRITING ABOUT WALKING) (HB)

The follow-up to the celebrated Wanderers, Kerri Andrews's Way Makers is the first anthology of women's writing about walking expressed in poetry, letters, diaries, novels, and more. Moving from Elizabeth Carter's correspondence with Catherine Talbot in the eighteenth century through to Merryn Glover in the present day, it traces a long tradition of women's walking literature. For the women included in this anthology, walking is a source of creativity and comfort, but is also sometimes tinged with danger and fear.
