Letters On Sweden, Norway And Denmark

""Letters On Sweden, Norway And Denmark"" is a collection of travel letters written by Mary Wollstonecraft, a British writer, philosopher, and feminist, during her journey through Scandinavia in the late 18th century. In these letters, Wollstonecraft provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes, people, culture, and politics of the three countries she visited. She also reflects on her own experiences as a female traveler in a male-dominated society and discusses the role of women in Scandinavia. Wollstonecraft's observations are informed by her liberal and progressive views, and she offers insightful comments on topics such as education, religion, government, and social customs. ""Letters On Sweden, Norway And Denmark"" is a fascinating account of a pioneering female traveler's journey through a region that was then little known to the English-speaking world, and it remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in Scandinavian history and culture.They were overflowing with civility; but, to prevent their almost killing my babe with kindness, I was obliged to shorten my visit; and two or three of the girls accompanied us, bringing with them a part of whatever the house afforded to contribute towards rendering my supper more plentiful; and plentiful in fact it was, though I with difficulty did honour to some of the dishes, not relishing the quantity of sugar and spices put into everything.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
