 | Letters written in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark
Mary Wollstonecraft
With her baby daughter and a nursemaid, Mary Wollstonecraft travelled across the dramatic landscape of Scandinavia and wrote sublime descriptions of the natural world, and the events and people she encountered. What emerges most vividly is Wollstonecraft's courage and ability to look beyond her own suffering to the turmoil around her in revolutionary Europe, and a better future. This edition includes further material on the silver ship, Wollstonecraft's personal letters to Imlay during her trip, an extract from Godwin's memoir, and a selection of contemporary reviews.

 | The Portrait of a Lady
Henry James
Considered by many as one of the finest novels in the English language, this is Henry James's most poised achievement, written at the height of his fame in 1881. Set in the intoxicating worlds of Paris, Florence, and Rome it is at once a dramatic Victorian tale of betrayal and a wholly modern psychological study of a woman caught in a web of relations she only comes to understand too late.
