Letters Written...in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark

1796
Mary Wollstonecraft
Letters Written During a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark
B-

Interesting observations on late 18th-century Scandinavia, including of course the women, by a well-traveled but still very British writer.  The letters were written to Mary's lover Gilbert Imlay, the one whose rejection made her suicidal, but the excerpts here are not especially personal, more anthropological.
