Résumé

In "Far Off; Or, Asia and Australia Described, " Favell Lee Mortimer presents an engaging and informative narrative that explores the cultures, landscapes, and societies of Asia and Australia during the 19th century. The book is characterized by its didactic tone and vivid descriptive style, which employs a combination of personal anecdotes and geographical observations. Mortimer skillfully intertwines factual accounts with her own reflections, offering readers insight into the customs and daily lives of the peoples she encountered.
This work is emblematic of the era's burgeoning interest in travel literature and imperial expansion, serving as both a travelogue and a commentary on the British perspective of colonial subjects. Favell Lee Mortimer, born in 1802, was a prolific writer and educator influenced by her experiences as a governess and her keen interest in botany and geography. Her rigorous educational background and travels across varied terrains shaped her understanding of different cultures, which she sought to convey through her writing.
Mortimer's perspective as a woman in the 19th century provides valuable insights into the roles and responsibilities expected of her, further enriching the context of her work. This enlightening text is highly recommended for readers interested in 19th-century travel literature, colonial history, and the intersection of gender and geography. Mortimer's articulate prose not only informs but also invites reflection on the complexities of cultural encounters and the nuances of exploration in a rapidly expanding world.
