Description

This travel memoir narrates Wollstonecraft’s journey through Scandinavia, accompanied by her young daughter; the letters are addressed to an unnamed lover. Passionate and personal, the letters also explore the comparative political and social systems of Europe. The result is a travel book that is both as much a work of political thought as Wollstonecraft’s more well-known treatises, and an innovative and influential work in the genre.

Author Biography:

Ingrid Horrocks is Lecturer, School of English and Media Studies, Massey University, Wellington, New Zealand.
