Description

Hardback. 82pp. Three letters by Mary Wollstonecraft, written whilst she was living in Paris with Gilbert Imlay, and one by fellow British woman the novelist poet and translator Helen Maria Williams. All were written to Ruth Barlow wife of the American poet and politician Joel Barlow. Williams was once the subject of a sonnet by Wordsworth and both women moved in radical circles and support the ideals of the French Revolution. Both were in France during the Reign of Terror and William’s letters described seeing the revolutionary Georges Danton going to his death at the guillotine. Mary’s letter also described the birth of her daughter Fanny Imlay. Black and white frontis and two further plates. Lengthy introduction and detailed notes.
