These narratives explore the fascinating connections between Britain's systems of transportation and resettlement, convictism and slavery in two travelogues from Botany Bay and Sierra Leone.
This fully-annotated edition of Anna Maria Falconbridge's "Two Voyages to Sierra Leone" (1794) and Mary Ann Parker's "A Voyage Round the World" (1795) brings together the first published accounts by women of these new sites of British colonization.
