Harriet Grote (née Lewin) (1792–1878) Sketch Book of Harriet Lewin
-
Description
-
Chronicling journeys made throughout Britain and Europe, Harriet Lewin uses her sketchbook to write down her impressions and capture an image of the new environments she encountered during her travels. She was the daughter of Thomas H. Lewin, lieutenant in colonial India, later wife of MP George Grote, and became an influential political radical activist in 1830s Britain. Throughout this journal of her early life she notes how landscapes can prompt reflection on historical sites and events, making them part of our own memories. Initial research suggests that human memory is affected differently by certain types of weather.
