Letters Written in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark Wollstonecraft Mary
This engaging volume was pioneering feminist Mary Wollstonecraft's most popular book during her lifetime. Wollstonecraft set out for Scandinavia just two weeks after her first suicide attempt, on a mission from the lover whose affections she doubted, to recover his silver on a ship that had gone missing. Difficult to categorize, it is both an arresting travel book and a moving exploration of her personal and political selves.
Fascinating appendices include Imlay's commission to recover his lost silver, Wollstonecraft's recently discovered letter to the Danish Prime Minister asking for assistance, the private letters she wrote to Imlay during her travels in Scandinavia, a chapter from Godwin's memoir of With her baby daughter and a nursemaid, she traveled across the dramatic landscape and wrote sublime descriptions of the natural world, and the events and people she encountered.
