Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Virginia, 2006.

This study is an examination of the notion of "home" as expressed through the travel letters of three francophone women travelers: Alexandra David-Neel (1868-1969), Isabelle Eberhardt (1887-1904), and Ella Maillart (1903-1997). By tracing an epistolary self of the travel letter, I show how notions of "home," are transformed through travel from Western Europe to Asia and Southeast Asia. Further, my study reveals the ways in which the travel letter can convey a lack of identification with the homeland of departure in favor of identification with a new country of linguistic, cultural, and religious assimilation. This quest for a new sense of being "at home" in a new environment uproots traditional notions of "home," and "homeland." Finally, my study questions traditional paradigms of postcolonial theory, where a search for a "home away from home" is often considered to be a literal colonial conquest.
