Wollstonecraft is regarded as one of the founding figures of feminist thought. This book provides an accessible introduction to "all" of Wollstonecraft's work (ca. 1788-1798) -- exploring her feminist thought as just one aspect of her developing radicalism. It places Wollstonecraft firmly in the context of her own time -- with an emphasis on her connections and affinities with her contemporaries, especially those generally thought of as Romantics. KEY TOPICS: " Discusses works such as" Thoughts on the Education of Daughters. Mary. Original Stories from Real Life. Lessons. The Analytical Review. A Vindication of the Rights of Men. A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. Letter on the Present Character of the French Nation. An Historical and Moral View of the Origin and Progress of the French Revolution. Letters Written During a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. The Wrongs of Woman; or, Maria. On Poetry and Out Relish for the Beautie of Nature. Hints Chiefly Designed to have been incorporated in the Second Part of the Vindication of the Right of Woman. For those interested in women's writing, feminist criticism, women's studies, Eighteenth-Century literature and Romanticism.
