| Synopsis: |
Visit to Iceland and the Scandinavian North by Ida Pfeiffer. In 1845 she set out to Scandinavia and Iceland, describing her tour in two volumes, Reise nach dem skandinavischen Norden und der Insel Island ("Trip to the Scandinavian North and the island of Iceland," Pest, 1846; English translation: Journey to Iceland, Sweden, and Norway, London, 1852). "Another journey-a journey, moreover, in regions which every one would rather avoid than seek. This woman only undertakes these journeys to attract attention." "The first journey, for a woman alone, was certainly rather a bold proceeding. Yet in that instance she might still have been excused. Religious motives may perhaps have actuated her; and when this is the case, people often go through incredible things. At present, however, we can see no just reason which could excuse an undertaking of this description." Thus, and perhaps more harshly still, will the majority judge me. And yet they will do me a grievous wrong. |
