Description: Letters Written in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, Paperback by Wollstonecraft, Mary; Brekke, Tone (EDT); Mee, Jon (EDT), ISBN 0199230633, ISBN-13 9780199230631, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This engaging volume was pioneering feminist Mary Wollstonecrafts most popular book during her lifetime. Difficult to categorize, it is both an arresting travel book and a moving exploration of her personal and political selves. 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. 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. Fascinating appendices include Imlays commission to recover his lost silver, Wollstonecrafts 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 Godwins memoir of
Wollstonecraft, and a selection of contemporary reviews.
