By comparing and contrasting three texts from the Gothic canon, Radcliffe's A Romance of the Forest, Austen's Northanger Abbey and finally Bronte's Jane Eyre, A Journey of a Thousand Miles maps women's progress towards self-authorship, self-ownership and self-actualisation, through both their own adventures as female writers within a male dominated tradition and the journeys undertaken by their fictional female counterparts. Paying close attention to the boundaries laid out for these women, authors and heroines alike, we see them beginning to forge paths of their own, gaining awareness, education and the understanding necessary to define the limits of their own sex.
