Book excerpt: This book offers a stimulating analysis of three non-canonical texts in different genres written by British women who lived in Sicily in the second half of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth centuries. These texts cover a series of crucial political events as well as social and cultural changes which affected the history of Sicily during the period in question, all seen through the direct and indirect experiences of the authors. The book offers a historical perspective on the late-Victorian and Edwardian representations of post-Unification Italy. At the same time the author challenges current critical literature on travel writing which tends to analyse travel texts without making substantial distinction between works written during a brief visit to a foreign country and those produced during a long-term or permanent residence. The book adopts an interdisciplinary, comparative approach. The three texts are studied by looking at patterns of connection in other written and visual works produced during, or after, an experience in Italy. By drawing on theories of travel writing, genre and gender, along with visual and cultural studies, the author aims to verify how the three texts respond to being analysed as a distinct group, and hence define the specific roles and functions of expatriate women's writing.

Excerpt from book: MY ROOM On the point of beginning a descriptive journey around my room, I can't exactly tell why I thought it more appropriate to begin with my bed. Is it because I find it as nearly comfortable as anything can be in this uncomfortable house ? Is it because I spend in it the best part of the twenty-four hours ? The real reason, I think, is that it is the only bed in the house. Sicilian beds, especially in the interior of the island, are invariably composed of two iron trestles, on which lie three deal boards painted in sombre green. Upon these are laid some half- dozen mattresses as hard as a miser's heart. This is a Sicilian bed, and a more ungainly object I have never seen, especially when, during the day, these mattresses are rolled up and piled on each other, with the sheets and counterpane neatly folded on the top, conveying thus a vague impression that the owner of the bed has started for a lengthy journey. My bed is quite different. In fact, it is a bed in the common, accepted, and natural sense of the word, having the usual springs, with only one mattress, though that tolerably hard?a thing which ceased to disturb me when I heard that this mattress had been made some ten years before, and not touched since. How this unique specimen of a nearly civilized bed came to be found here is a mystery to me. However, here it is. I appropriated it the day we arrived, guessing, when I saw it, that it was the only bed in the house where I might possibly close my eyes in sweet oblivion of life and its dull cares. The walls of this room have remained in their rustic, unfinished state ever since it was built, some hundred years ago, and no one as yet has had the moral courage to cover them with the paper which was bought for that purpose long ago, and which fills s...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sicilian Ways and Days In Funeral Customs we see the dead carried in an arm-chair around the village, a custom which is lost now, though an exception is made in the smaller villages in favour of the parish priest when he dies, and we find that this exception is maintained also in Tuscany, at S. Stefano di Calcinaia. That this is a very old custom can be seen by some sculptures on Greek and Roman tombs, where corpses are carried in this lugubrious manner.
