Abstract
One indicator or precursor of the social emancipation of women in nineteenth-century Britain was the number of women who travelled in, and wrote about, continental Europe. Several such writers were involved with The Folklore Society, but this European and gendered contribution to the development of the discipline can be overlooked. This note considers the case of two such women, Rachel Busk and Evelyn Martinengo-Cesaresco, who, despite their opposing political commitments, made their home in Italy and wrote about that country’s folklore for a British audience.
