This collection examines images of late seventeenth- through mid-nineteenth-century transatlantic women travelers in historical and literary works. The volume features women of a variety of races, ethnicities, and social classes traveling in all directions of the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the people they encounter in their travels and residences.

Unsettling Sexuality brings queer, trans, and asexual lenses to bear on the long eighteenth century. Drawing from Middle-Eastern and Asian studies, African American studies, and Native American and Indigenous studies, the authors pioneer intersectional readings of European, transatlantic, and global eighteenth-century archives that unsettle traditional ways of approaching the field, to welcome sexuality as something that can resist rigidity.
