Omschrijving

Driftwood From Scandinavia is a collection of travel essays written by Jane Francesca Wilde, an Irish poet and writer who is better known as the mother of Oscar Wilde. The book was first published in 1884 and contains a series of sketches and observations from her travels through Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.Wilde's writing is descriptive and evocative, capturing the beauty and majesty of the Scandinavian landscape, as well as the customs and traditions of the people who live there. She writes about the fjords and mountains of Norway, the bustling cities of Copenhagen and Stockholm, and the quaint villages and rural landscapes that dot the countryside.In addition to her travelogue, Wilde also includes a number of historical and cultural essays that provide context for the places she visits. She writes about the Vikings and their impact on Scandinavian culture, the art and literature of the region, and the political and social issues facing the people of Scandinavia in the late 19th century.Overall, Driftwood From Scandinavia is a fascinating and engaging read for anyone interested in travel writing, history, or Scandinavian culture. Wilde's vivid prose and keen observations make this book a true gem of 19th-century literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
