[Montague, Lady Mary Wortley]

Letters of the right honourable Lady M..y W...y M......e: written during her travels in Europe, Asia and Africa to persons of distinction, men of letters, &c. in different parts of Europe, which contain, among other curious relations, accounts of the policy and manners of the Turks. 2de druk. 3 dln. Londen: T. Becket and P.A. de Hondt, 1763.

Geb., 16 165 167 134 p. Gebonden in bibliotheekbanden. Lit: Jacobsen Jensen 110 (Engelstalige editie, Parijs 1800). Lady Montagu(e) (1689-1762) is in de Engelse literatuur vooral bekend door deze 52 brieven vanuit Turkije, waar haar echtgenoot Edward Wortley Montagu van 1716 tot 1718 ambassadeur was. Deze brieven werden eerst in 1763, een jaar na haar dood, gepubliceerd en nog in hetzelfde jaar verscheen de hier aangeboden tweede druk. De brieven zijn gedateerd 1716-1718 en geschreven in diverse plaatsen op de heen- en terugweg van Engeland naar Turkije, maar vooral vanuit het laatste land.In een voorwoord, gedateerd 18 december 1724 en getekend M.A., wordt de loftrompet gestoken over de vrouw die reisverhalen schrijft. Een tweede voorwoord van de “editor” vertelt dat hij de schrijfster leerde kennen gedurende zijn verblijf in Venetië en dat zij de selectie uit haar brieven aldaar voor hem maakte.In de vanuit Nederland geschreven brieven vertelt zij over haar overtocht naar Hellevoetsluis en bezoeken aan Brielle, Rotterdam, Den Haag (het Voorhout) en Nijmegen (Julius Caesars toren, Belvedere, brug, Franse kerk). Er bestaan vertalingen in het Frans en ook in het Nederlands (verschenen in 1765 bij Meijer te Amsterdam). Verder is de schrijfster bekend als feministe, dichter en essayist. Ze was bevriend met Alexander Pope en John Gay. Vanuit Turkije bracht zij het inenten tegen pokken mee terug naar Engeland, waar dit nog onbekend was.
