This seventh volume in the Collected Works of Florence Nightingale consists of
letters, observations, and notes from Florence Nightingale’s many trips to
Europe, beginning with a family journey when she was a teenager. It includes
annotations she made on opera libretti from her “music mad” phase and her
winter in Rome (1847-48) which were so important in shaping her liberal
politics and support for independence movements. Her letters and notes from
Greece and central Europe in 1850, and her Kaisers- werth stay in 1851, reveal
her developing ideas on social reform, as well as her first professional
training. Materials from 1853 provide information on her training in Paris
hospitals. Volume 7 also contains letters and observations from her excursions
to Scotland, Ireland, and all over England, from her childhood on.
Many of the letters in European Travels were uncatalogued items buried in
archives and will be new to Nightingale scholars. The information gathered in
this volume adds considerably to what can be learned about the formative
influences in Nightingale’s life, politics, and faith.
Currently, Volumes 1 to 11 are available in e-book version by subscription or
from university and college libraries through the following vendors: Canadian
Electronic Library, Ebrary, MyiLibrary, and Netlibrary.
