Emily Gerard: From Scotland to Transnational Identity. This essay focuses on the transnational connections of Emily Gerard (1845-1905), a very interesting Scottish woman writer who lived most of her life in Austria-Hungary. Comparisons are made with Mary (Maria) Grant-Rossetti (another Scottish expatriate writer) and Emilia Lungu-Puhallo (a Romanian female writer). Gerard’s most famous work, The Land beyond the Forest, as well as two of Gerard’s novels located in Poland, are analyzed predominantly from the point of view of the author’s transnational identifications. Our approach is meant to find the specific ways in which (post-) colonialism affects Gerard’s female gaze.
Keywords: Scotland, Poland, Transylvania, identity, transnational, Emily Gerard, Emilia Lungu-Puhallo, Mary Grant-Rossetti, journey, ethnicity.
