Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents itself as the collected letters of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, a prominent English aristocrat, and prolific letter-writer, during her travels across Europe in the early 18th century. It provides unique insights into the social, cultural, and political landscape of Europe at that time, as seen through the eyes of an astute observer and commentator. The letters cover a wide range of topics, from detailed descriptions of the cities she visits, to observations on the customs and manners of different societies, and encounters with notable figures of the day. Lady Montagu's writing is characterized by its wit, intelligence, and keen eye for detail, offering a vivid and entertaining account of her experiences. Beyond its historical value, the book also sheds light on the role and agency of women in the 18th century. Lady Montagu's letters reveal her as a woman of strong intellect, independence, and a thirst for knowledge, challenging prevailing notions of female propriety and pushing the boundaries of what was considered acceptable for women of her time. Overall, this book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of European history and culture, as well as a fascinating glimpse into the life and mind of an extraordinary woman.
