The Anglo-Irish womans of means and her English archaeological adventurer husband spent 20 years traveling the world together. He wrote scholarly books that were published. She kept detailed journals, which found their way to the Hellenic Society in London after she died in 1929 and remained there until now. This first volume presents Mabel Brent's chronicles of their travels and archaeological and ethnographic findings around the Aegean Sea from 1883-98. The other two volumes will cover Arabia and the Near East, and Egypt and Africa. Editors Gerland Brisch and Brenda Stones provide explanatory footnotes, biographical sketches that double as an index of people, and an index of places.
