Sarah: Well, Isabella Bird was a remarkable 19thcentury woman, and Henrietta was her sister The book is pretty much composed of Isabella’s letters home - hence the title Interviewer: And what was so remarkable? I have to say, I’m afraid I haven’t heard of Isabella Bird before Sarah: Actually, in her day, Isabella was a renowned travel writer This was fairly unusual for a woman It was usually men going off on expeditions out into the unknown and facing danger We’re certainly more familiar with famous male travel writers The irony of it all is that she was a complete hypochondriac - I mean she always had this idea there was something wrong with her and you can see a fair bit of evidence of this in her diary entries Here - 8th November 1872 - she reports she’s suffering from ‘terrible headaches, pain in my bones, exhaustion, inflamed eyes, sore throat’ and so on - you get the picture But when it came to other people, she couldn’t see it at all She had very little time for tea and sympathy when friends or acquaintances complained of their problems So anyway, what with all her supposed suffering, it was probably not a career path she’d ever imagined for herself Interviewer: And where was she when she penned that entry? Sarah: Hmm, Melbourne, I think She’d gone there, apparently on the advice of a friend who thought the climate would her good - but when she got there, she found she loathed Australia She thought there was nothing worth seeing and no interesting people What was incredible is that it was at this point that this 40-year-old woman was on the brink of a remarkable career that was going to take her to the remotest parts of the world and bring her considerable fame at the time Imagine - someone who could scarcely raise her head from the sofa at home in Scotland would then be climbing up Mauna Loa in the Pacific, surviving being cut off by snow on a ranch in Colorado, riding a huge elephant through the Malayan jungle, and even at the age of 70, crossing the Atlas mountains alone, on a fierce black horse It was definitely unusual for someone of her social standing Interviewer: I’m just wondering about the equipment It can’t have compared to what’s available today Did, did Isabella work for a newspaper? Sarah: She did have articles published quite regularly, but the book, you see, contains these diary letters that she wrote to her sister - most of which have until now remained unseen She used those letters - or the content - to provide much of the raw material for her other work I’m afraid it’s not always … well … an editor now would probably ask her to exercise a little more control over the adjectives She goes into particular detail - I mean extreme detail - especially when describing dramatic landscapes, like for example when she’s having the time of her life in Hawaii She was riding up incredibly steep mountain passes to get to their camp - she writes ‘companioned only by stars’ beside ‘a black lake from which rise fountains of fire’ and so on She certainly can’t be accused of understatement Interviewer: You certainly seem to admire her Sarah: Yes, she has – at least to my mind and I’m sure any reader will feel the same - she has a very contradictory character and it’s this that keeps you hooked Her father was a preacher He was strict and frowned upon ‘fun’ and you can see she’s inherited that aspect She rarely - in fact, she hates, to admit that she enjoys all her adventures, but when under pressure, all her imagined illnesses magically vanish and she just positively sparkles and shines She boasts about her riding about in Colorado - saying that others are describing her as the bravest rider they’ve seen This image isn’t really compatible with the poor woman suffering from those ghastly headaches! Anyway, as I said, it is pretty and amazing but - as for the book itself - I have one small reservation I mean, the book isn’t quite what it seems Interviewer: In what way? Sarah: Well, Isabella herself destroyed or heavily edited many letters - so maybe you’re not always reading what you think was an original viewpoint or observation Ad then, you see, the editor has also been editing, of course What you’re left with is doubt about who’s edited what - what did Isabella write or cut, and how much influence has the editor had? Anyway - I utterly recommend it A lot of travel writing comes across as quite cynical or leaves you with the impression that the writer would prefer the country they’re visiting to be a bit more like home In Letters to Henrietta, you’re getting a real glimpse of what it was like to be traveling at a time when there was still a sense of adventure and ‘newness’ All of Isabella’s stories are full of drama and full of interest Interviewer: Thank you, Sarah Tapescript M: You don't look too happy Bad day at work? W: Yeah, this really embarrassing thing happened to me M: What? W: Well, I needed to go down to the storeroom on the floor below my office, and I knew the elevators would be really busy at that time of day So I decided to go down the fire escape stairs - you know, they're on the outside of the building M: Yeah W: Anyway, I discovered that the doors are all locked on the outside security I guess M: Oh, no, so you had to go… W: All the way down to the ground floor Right And when I got there, guess what? M: What? W: It was locked, too Wasn't supposed to be, of course, but it was M: So what did you do? W: What could I do? I climbed all the way back to my office floor, and started banging on the fire escape door But, no one heard me I ended up taking off my shoe and banging on the door with it M: And? W: Well, eventually, like after about half an hour, someone heard me and opened the door, and the whole office was like just staring at me standing there sweating with my shoe in my hand M: Oh, no! How embarrassing! W: Embarrasing isn’t the word, I was mortified! Tapescript Jack: Hi, Ana, what are you doing? Ana: I’m filling in the feedback form Jack: What form? Ana: The student feedback form for our course Jack: Oh, I really forgot it What’s the date for handling that in? Ana: Tomorrow morning Jack: Oh, no Have you finished it? Ana: Just beginning Jack: Great If you don’t mind we could it together Ana: Of course Do you bring your form? Jack: Yes Ana: OK, let’s begin with the top first Jack: It is a Course Name, Politics and Economics? Ana: No It is our faculty name Jack: Oh, sorry Ana: According to the course data from the twentieth March to twentieth June, I think the name of the course should be Global Economy Jack: Are you sure that it is economy not economics? Ana: Definitely Jack: Alright The next item is the name of our subject advisor Ana: Professor Robert Hansen Jack: Right I like him very much Ana: Me too He is very handsome Jack: Yeah Just like me Ana: Yeah Nice and humorous Jack: Yes Let’s see the first point in the evaluation form “handouts and equipment” What’s your opinion? Ana: I think the handouts are very good I mean they are clear and sent out on time Jack: Yes I agree But you think the words of handouts, well, may be too many words Ana: What you mean? Jack: I mean I have to spend so much time reading them just like reading a book Ana: Right Let’s put that down Jack: How about teaching equipments? Ana: I really love the new multimedia It is perfect Jack: Yes I agree, but the printer… Ana: It is really bad Too old and sometimes it doesn’t work Jack: Should we suggest a new printer instead of the old one? Ana: Why not? Let’s turn to the second item It is “course structure” Jack: I really like Robert’s balanced design of the course Ana: Yes I agree He organised it very well Jack: Do you remember he sent out the course outline on the first class? Ana: Yes, it is very clear Jack: I think it is very good beginning and it is very important for a class Ana: Right I gain confidence form him after the first class Jack: What about suggestions with course structure? Ana: Maybe… Jack: What? Ana: Don’t you think we have too much research work in the first module? Jack: Research work? Ana: Yes We only had one research in the second module Jack: You are right Let me put it down Ana: The next one is “practical training” Well, I think it is a good chance for our future job, right? Jack: Yes I agree I learned more knowledge from that than from lectures Ana: Right Jack: What about suggestions for improvement? Ana : I think the department should apply more different places for us instead of just one Jack Yes Let’s go on the next one “assessment” What’s your opinion? Ana : Fine I got my feedback really quickly of my presentations Jack : Yes Me too Ana : But I think the exam time should be adjusted Jack : Which type of exam? Ana: Open- book Jack : yes I agree with you Only 30 minutes is not enough Ana : Yes Anything else? Jack : What you think about essay? Ana : Too many Jack : Right There are three essays in one module Ana : Yes Jack : On “ other comments” what should we write? Ana : Jack, what you think about the teaching? Jack : I like Robert’s teaching method It is very flexible Ana : Yes, me too And I think we should advise Robert to help us to improve our writing skills Jack : Right That’s all? Ana : Yes That’s all THE END
