For each, walking was integral, whether it was rambling for miles across the Highlands, like Sarah Stoddart Hazlitt, or pacing novels into being, as Virginia Woolf did around Bloomsbury. Offering a beguiling view of the history of walking, \u003ci\u003eWanderers\u003c\/i\u003e guides us through the different ways of seeing--of being--articulated by these ten pathfinding women.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKerri Andrews\u003c\/b\u003e is a senior lecturer in English literature at Edge Hill University.
