Description

This engaging volume used to be pioneering feminist Mary Wollstonecraft’s hottest book right through her lifetime. Difficult to categorize, it is both an arresting commute 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 get better 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 Imlay’s commission to get better his lost silver, Wollstonecraft’s recently discovered letter to the Danish Prime Minister asking for assistance, the private letters she wrote to Imlay right through her travels in Scandinavia, a chapter from Godwin’s memoir of Wollstonecraft, and a selection of recent reviews.
