This dissertation interrogates the broader field of women's travel writing and the "Orient", by focusing on texts primarily written by women authors from the 1750s until the 1850s that are concerned with Anglo-Persianate travel and encounter. I particularly focus on the Persian-speaking (Persianate) realm of the Islamic Orient. The historical period I consider remains critically understudied with regards to Anglo-Persianate literary output generally, and the role of women's writing and presence therein in particular. Given the paucity of focus on this material, I use critical methodologies which focus on women in Anglo-Ottoman literature of roughly the same period, as well as criticism on British Orientalism at large, as a framework of interpretation. Moreover, I compare women writers of this Anglo-Persianate context with Anglo-Persianate male writers, in order to read the specificities of women writers' approaches to travel and encounter. I also examine the ways in which gender operates within intimate, domestic, or "private" Anglo-Persianate spaces, as well as "public" spaces of Anglo-Persianate diplomacy, entertainment, and commerce. The first chapter provides a broader historical overview and significance of Anglo-Persianate travel and travel literature; the methodological framing of the dissertation, including drawing from travel studies, postcolonial/decolonial studies, and studies of gender & sexuality; and chapter summaries. The next two chapters will focus on women's writing and their blurring of "fictional" and "nonfictional" literary genres specifically, in Mughal India and Qajar Persia respectively, through novel and theatrical forms. However, the fourth chapter will draw upon a broader context of Anglo-Persianate travel literature, written by authors of any gender, to understand how this particular tradition of travel writing complicates our conventional notions of gendered and sexual mores in the eighteenth century, the Romantic, and the Victorian eras. The final chapter will return to a focus on women's writing, specifically from a Persianate tradition, to provide a contrapuntal perspective of how Persianate women themselves "wrote back" to the colonial archive, and articulated their own, distinct visions of travel through a Sufi praxis, separate from British/Anglophone conceptions of them.
