| Title | Letters Written During a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark |
| Summary | "Letters Written During a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark" by Mary Wollstonecraft is a collection of travel letters composed in the late 18th century. This work recounts the author's journey across Scandinavia, reflecting on her experiences and observations while immersed in the landscapes, cultures, and social conditions of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. Through this narrative, Wollstonecraft not only shares details of her travels but also imparts her insights regarding society, gender roles, and personal reflection following her profound emotional struggles. The opening portion introduces Wollstonecraft's struggles as she embarks on her journey, detailing her weariness during the voyage and her observations about the despotism impacting local industry. Upon reaching the shores of Sweden, she encounters the challenges of navigating an unfamiliar landscape, describing the stark beauty of nature, the simplicity of rural life, and her interactions with humble locals, including a hospitable lighthouse keeper. As she proceeds with her observations, she begins to critique social customs and explore themes of hospitality, gender dynamics, and the contrasts between her expectations and realities, setting the stage for deeper reflections to unfold as her journey continues.
