内容説明

This panoramic survey of one of the most intimate of art forms offers more than 300 letters spanning five centuries. They chronicle the affairs of correspondents from Elizabeth I to Groucho Marx, from politicians to poets, and from the famous to the unknown. Their subjects range from the mundane to the extraordinary, from gossip about the latest fashion to the horrors of a public execution, and from the tragic to the hilarious. In each case, the editors provide a context for the letters, and unobtrusive notes. In an age where communication is instant and ephemeral, this volume celebrates the glories of the written word, and what may well be a dying art form.
