Abstract

In c. 1827-54, Dorothea and John Ladeveze Adlercron of Moyglare, Co. Meath, and their children made prolonged tours of France, Switzerland and Italy. Dorothea (1800-79) was daughter of Abraham George Rothe (1768-1846) of Kilkenny. Detailed documentary evidence of the family's tours survives in their diaries and passports. A heretofore unstudied example of Irish women's travel writing, Dorothea's diaries raise the question of identity formation during overseas travel, and offer an alternative perspective on the traditional 'grand tour'.
