# Letters Written During a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark

By Mary Wollstonecraft.

"Letters Written During a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark" by Mary Wollstonecraft is a travel narrative published in 1796. The twenty-five letters blend sociological observations of Scandinavia with philosophical reflections on identity and nature. Wollstonecraft traveled to retrieve a stolen treasure ship for her lover, Gilbert Imlay, hoping to save their relationship. The letters, drawn from her journal and correspondence, reveal her growing despair as she realizes his betrayal. This work combines travel writing with autobiographical memoir, exploring themes of women's liberation and society's relationship with commerce. (Summary by Project Gutenberg, written by machine.)
