Bu makale, neredeyse otuz yıl içerisinde (1867–1895) dünyayı dolaşan ve gezilerini günlükler, albümler ve romancı Henry James gibi sırdaşlarıyla gerçekleştirdiği yoğun yazışmalar biçiminde belgeleyen, aynı zamanda Boston sosyetesinin renkli simalarından biri olan, Isabella Stewart Gardner’ın (1840–1924) gezi yazılarını inceleyecektir. Makale, bir sanat koleksiyoneri de olan Gardner’ın gezi yazılarının özellikle 19. yüzyıl tabuları olan egzotik, erotik ve ürkütücü—alışılmışın dışında—öğeleri yüzünden onun yaşantısına dair karmaşık bir içgörü sağladıklarını ortaya koyar, tıpkı Gardner’ın titizlikle düzenlenmiş müzesi gibi. Buna ek olarak, yazarın eserlerinin katı Viktoryen sosyal ve kültürel kodlara bir karşı anlatı olarak hizmet ettiğinin ve kendi gibi kadınlara oryantalist ve emperyalist otorite ve gücü tartışabilecekleri sorunlu bir söylem sağladığının altını çizer.
