This engaging volume was pioneering feminist Mary Wollstonecraft's most popular book during her lifetime. Difficult to categorize, it is both an arresting travel book and a moving exploration of her personal and political selves. Wollstonecraft set out for Scandinavia just two weeks after her first suicide attempt, on a mission from the lover whose affections she doubted, to recover his silver on a ship that had gone missing. With her baby daughter and a nursemaid, she traveled across the dramatic landscape and wrote sublime descriptions of the natural world, and the events and people she encountered. Fascinating appendices include Imlay's commission to recover his lost silver, Wollstonecraft's recently discovered letter to the Danish Prime Minister asking for assistance, the private letters she wrote to Imlay during her travels in Scandinavia, a chapter from Godwin's memoir of Wollstonecraft, and a selection of contemporary reviews.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.

CHRISTMAS
Format: Hardcover
EXCELLENT BOOK, I listened to Rick Renner on a program several months back and try to catch him everytime he is being interviewed. His other book about Noah and the flood, it too is so enlightening and opens these stories up to historical accuracy.

Very nicely done
Format: Paperback
This is a well written, very thorough and easy to read volume which I am glad to have read. I bought the updated 2024 edition. Although the style is easy to read, there is a large amount of practical information, very useful down the road. The authors cover legal issues well, and compared to other books Ive read on executor duties, this one takes the prize. i will look for other work by Mary Randolph, or at least NOLO in the future.

Good book to read if you are appointed someone's executor
Basic information that covers many different situations an executor might face. Good book to read as you start acting as executor but you will need to consult other resources for in-depth discussion of more complicated situations.
