by Clara Moore

Book Overview

The Tent: Or A Traveler's Recollections is a book written by Clara Moore and published in 1845. The book is a collection of stories and recollections from Moore's travels across Europe and the Middle East. The stories are presented in the form of letters written by Moore to her family and friends, describing her experiences and adventures in various cities and countries. Moore's travels take her to places like Paris, Rome, Jerusalem, and Cairo, and she shares her observations on the people, culture, and customs of each place. She also writes about the challenges of traveling as a woman in the 19th century, including dealing with male attention and the limitations placed on women's mobility. The title of the book, The Tent, refers to the idea that Moore sees herself as a traveler living in a temporary shelter, moving from place to place and experiencing different cultures and lifestyles. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of travel in the 19th century, as well as the experiences of a woman traveling alone during that time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
