Letters Written During a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark
A Journey Through Scandinavia: Observations and Reflections
In June 1795, Mary Wollstonecraft embarked on a three-month trip around Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, on undisclosed business at the request of her lover Gilbert Imlay. During the course of this voyage she wrote twenty-five letters to him, which were compiled the following year at the behest of her publisher into this volume. As a travelogue, the letters of course contain descriptions of the natural beauty of the places she visited and the habits and interests of the people she met; but what is more apparent is Mary¿s growing realization that this journey she has undertaken for Imlay ultimately won¿t heal their relationship.Letters Written During a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark was the last work of Mary Wollstonecraft¿s published during her lifetime; she died two years later, shortly after the birth of her second child, Mary Shelley. It follows the themes of her earlier works: a belief in reason¿s ability to elevate people, the injustice of society¿s oppression of women, and a spreading idea that commercialism does more to deprave than to enlighten humankind.
