Scandinavian Dreams
Sunday 21 October 2007 20:00-21:30 (Radio 3)
By Steve Chambers.
In the last years of the 18th Century, as revolution raged in France, feminist writer and radical pamphleteer Mary Wollstonecraft embarked alone on a journey to the wilds of Scandinavia to recover her husband's lost treasure ship. This daring and dangerous journey was undertaken as much for reasons of the heart as for those of commerce, but her brilliant triumph failed to recover the thing she wanted most of all.
