In search of a plant believed to cure leprosy, Marsden traveled a long route from Moscow to Vilyuisk. Despite the courage and endurance demonstrated in her travels, Marsden's reputation in her homeland, Great Britain, became highly controversial. The purpose of this research is to reconstruct the fuller story of Marsden's experiences by drawing on a range of historical sources, including British accounts and oral testimonies from Vilyui Sakha elders. A critical discourse analysis reveals that the oral histories of the Vilyui Sakha challenge the dominant narrative. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
