A bridge of boats crosses the Neva opposite the Cadet Corps, making a communication from Williams Iiland to the grand quarter of the city upon the continent. As you walk along this bridge, you 'have a front view of the equestrian statue of Peter I. which is erected upon the opposite bank of the river: the horse, upon the summit of a rock, maJestically tearing, and pavving the airseems conscious of his rider-" he smells '' the battle afar off; his neck is clothed V with thunder) Around the statue are always several Ruffians, attended by some biographer. You can trace, without any knowledge of the language, by the gestures of the orator and his audience, w_hen 'he is recording the defeat at Narva, or the victory at Pultowa. They add in these orations, i that Peter stood upon the very rock which now supports his effigy, while he beheld the Swedish army fly from the field of battle.

Download or read book Letters written in Sweden Norway and Denmark written by Mary Wollstonecraft and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2009-03-12 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'If ever there was a book calculated to make a man in love with its author, this appears to me to be the book.' William Godwin, the author's future husband, was not alone in admiring Letters written during a short residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, Wollstonecraft's most popular book during her lifetime. Not easy 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 travelled across the dramatic landscape and wrote sublime descriptions of the natural world, and the events and people she encountered. What emerges most vividly is Wollstonecraft's courage and ability to look beyond her own suffering to the turmoil around her in revolutionary Europe, and a better future. This edition includes further material on the silver ship, Wollstonecraft's personal letters to Imlay during her trip, an extract from Godwin's memoir, and a selection of contemporary reviews.
