Daunt Books

Wollstonecraft, one of the great figures of early Romanticism, travelled in the late 18th century to Scandinavia in search of happiness. This vivid account of her experience radically transformed the art of travel writing, so distant was it from the traditional constraints of the Grand Tour. Included here is her husband William Godwin's sensational account of Wollstonecraft's life, written in the aftermath of her death in childbirth.
