"The art of travelling is only a branch of the art of thinking,"
Mary Wollstonecraft wrote in 1790 in a review of a travel narrative
set in Ireland. A Short Residence was her own travel memoir, and
became the work that Wollstonecraft most admired in her own
lifetime. The text narrates Wollstonecraft's journey through
Scandinavia, accompanied by her young daughter; the letters are
addressed to an unnamed lover. Passionate and personal, the letters
also explore the comparative political and social systems of
Europe. The result is a travel book that is both as much a work of
political thought as Wollstonecraft's more well-known treatises,
and an innovative and influential work in the genre. This Broadview
Edition provides a helpful introduction and extensive appendices
that contextualise this remarkable text in relation to a number of
key political and aesthetic debates.
