McAllister, Professor of English, has published a scholarly edition of Ann Flaxman&rsquo;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rc.umd.edu\/blog_rc\/new-rc-editions-uninteresting-detail-journey-rome-ann-flaxman\" target=\"_blank\"><em>An Uninteresting Detail of a Journey to Rome<\/em><\/a>.<\/p><p>Romantic Circles Electronic Editions, with which McAllister&rsquo;s book appears, publishes refereed editions of British literature from the late 18th and early 19th-centuries. In 1787 Ann Flaxman set out for France and Italy with her husband, the sculptor John Flaxman. The comically-titled journal she kept during her travels tells the story of a female Grand Tour, something quite rare, and of an extended artist&rsquo;s visit to Italy, something quite common. Her perceptive and entertaining manuscript, located in the British Library, has been known to scholars but never previously published. The <em>Journey<\/em> serves as an excellent introduction to English travel writing just before the French Revolution, and to the 18th-century international arts scene. It also reveals the challenges and rewards of being an atypically poor continental traveler and an aspiring woman writer.<\/p><p>Romantic Circles editions include extensive scholarly introductions and appropriate scholarly apparatus for texts edited to the highest editorial standards. They are published in TEI-compliant XML. TEI renders archival quality text for better preservation and future access. Dr. Patrick Murray-John, former Instructional Technology specialist at UMW, assisted with the coding. This project was supported by a UMW faculty development grant and a 2005 sabbatical.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marie E.
