Lady Mary Wortley Montagu est aujourd’hui considérée comme la première voyageuse à s’être rendue en Orient et à avoir relaté son expérience. Elle rejoint l’Empire Ottoman en 1716 pour ne retrouver son Angleterre natale qu’en 1718, après deux années passées au cœur de la culture turque. Cet ouvrage porte ainsi une attention toute particulière au récit du voyage qui chamboula sa vie, compilé en un recueil de cinquante-deux lettres, The Turkish Embassy Letters, qui permet d’en apprendre davantage à la fois sur la voyageuse elle-même, mais également sur le monde dans lequel elle vivait. Il aborde des questions concernant la culture orientale, le dialogue entre les cultures, la littérature et la place des femmes au dix-huitième siècle, en Europe mais également en Orient, et s’intéresse à la découverte par la voyageuse de la technique de l’inoculation contre la variole, ancêtre du vaccin. L’ouvrage s’intéresse ainsi à la figure de cette étonnante voyageuse, à ses idées proto-féministes et ses nombreux combats, et tente d’appréhender la riche personnalité de cette femme des Lumières aux multiples facettes, mue par un perpétuel désir de progrès.

Self-taught in her father's library, the writer, satirist and poet Lady Mary Wortley Montagu had an inexhaustible appetite for travel and society. This third edition of her Letters and Works (1866) offers insight into the ambitions and frustrations of one of the most unconventional women of the eighteenth century. In addition to remarks on the follies and diversions of London, Volume 1 provides acute and often acerbic observations of the sights and people she encountered on her travels across Holland, France, Germany, Austria and Turkey. Letters to her family, to Alexander Pope, and to her sister the Countess of Mar are enhanced by an engraved portrait of Lady Mary in her famous Turkish-inspired dress, and an introductory memoir of her life; all of which ensures the enduring appeal of this entertaining collection of correspondence.
