This article attempts a reading of two eighteenth century captivity narratives that focus on the plight of the English female traveler in the East, her subsequent captivity and eventual restoration. While Penelope Aubin’s The Strange Adventures of the Count of Vinevil and His Family (1720) represents the tensions and anxieties experienced by the White European travel in the East, Elizabeth Marsh’s The Female Captive (1769) is an autobiography that occupies a unique position in the history of captivity genre. Being the only known factual account of an English woman enslaved in Morocco, the text is impregnated with socio-political significance. While it describes the Moroccan harem from within, it offers important insights into Anglo-Moroccan relations in the mid-eighteenth century. Thus, while both texts offer us some invaluable insights into gender relations in the eighteenth century, they break through such stereotypes that project women as frail and vulnerable which seem to characterize traditional captivity narrative fictions and accounts. |
