Series -- Bison Book, BB340 [PREFACE]"The greatest debt which I have incurred in my preparation for this book is to Lord Abinger, of Clees Hall, Bures, Suffolk, who generously permitted me to examine his collection of the letters of Mary Wollstonecraft, her husband William Godwin, and her sister Elizabeth W. Bishop. These letters came into the hands of the Abinger family from Lady Shelley, aunt and foster-mother of the present Lord Abinger's grandmother. (...) I was able to derive from them a good deal of information, both factual and interpretive, never before available to biographers of Mary Wollstonecraft. I have followed my own transcripts of the letters, since Paul's were often inaccurate[.] (...) I am, of course, indebted also to previous biographers of Mary Wollstonecraft and her associates and to the authors of dozens of standard works on eighteenth century history, political thought, and social backgrounds or on the history of education or feminism. I have picked many a good brain in my attempt to understand Mary Wollstonecraft, her period, and her position in intellectual history." #MaryShelley #booksforsale #readersofinstagram #Feminism #Books #Rare #RalphMWardle #bookcollecting #Vintage #WilliamGodwin #booksale #Bookworm #BisonBook #Bookworm #Scarce #instaread #TheWrongsOfWoman #CoverArt #BooksBooksBooks #Frankenstein #Antiquarian #MaryWollstonecraft #instabooks #collectiblebooks #bibliophile #Bookstagram
