Description and Table of Contents

Volume

v. 1 ISBN 9780874131154

Description

This edition presents the voluminous correspondence that places Hester Lynch Piozzi squarely in the rich epistolary heritage of the eighteenth century. This first of six volumes is introduced by a prelude of letters to longtime correspondents, including Samuel Johnson and Fanny Burney, detailing the turmoil of her emotional and intellectual life before her scandalous marriage to an Italian, and Catholic, singing master.

Volume

The third of six volumes that contains most of the unpublished letters of Hester Lynch Piozzi from 1784 to 1821.
Volume

v. 4 ISBN 9780874133936

Description

Volume 4 describes one of the most traumatic periods of Hester Lynch Piozzi's life, when she could no longer believe that Gabriel Piozzi's attacks of gout were to be endured as a typically gentrified English condition.
Volume

v. 5 ISBN 9780874133943

Description

Mrs. Piozzi's correspondence for the years 1811-1816 depicts a woman plagued by infirmity and financial difficulties. She also records the decline of her relationship with John Salusbury Piozzi Salusbury, her late husband's nephew and her adopted son.
Volume

v. 6 ISBN 9780874133950

Description

The letters in this volume record the last years of Mrs. Piozzi's life. Her correspondence from 1817 to 1821 reads like extensions of her private journals and may be seen as affirmation of hope and ambition as well as decelarations of frustration, grief, anger, and self-pity.
