Letters on Sweden, Norway, and Denmark by Mary Wollstonecraft
2.0
If someone sent me these letters, I would be annoyed. Why are they so long and convoluted?!
I found it so funny how she wrote an essay complaining about flavoursome food. Typical Brit! Also, in the same vein, the writer looks at the customs of Sweden and other countries and goes, “appears to be a remnant of barbarism.” It’s crazy to see how much Scandinavia has changed over time. At the beginning of the book, it seemed as if these letters were critique’s of society in Sweden, Norway and Denmark.
I didn't enjoy this book. Other than the occasional interesting point to historical Scandinavia, there was nothing in the book other than letters. I had hoped that there would be substance to the narrative, but there wasn't.
