The Love Letters of Mary Wollstonecraft to Gilbert Imlay

These are the raw, aching love letters written by the pioneering feminist Mary Wollstonecraft to the American speculator Gilbert Imlay during a turbulent, ultimately doomed affair. By turns passionate, wounded, and fiercely intelligent, they reveal the private heart of a woman who argued publicly for reason and independence. They stand as one of the most moving records of love and heartbreak in English letters.
