This volume investigates the form of love letters and erotic letters in Greek and Latin up to the 7th Century CE, encompassing both literary and documentary letters (the latter inscribed and on papyrus), and prose and poetry. The potential for, and utility of treating this large and diverse corpus as a ‘genre’ is examined. To this end, approaches from ancient literary criticism and modern theory of genre are made; mutual influences between the documentary and the literary form are sought; and origins in proto-epistolary poetic texts are examined. In order to examine the boundaries of a form, limit cases, which might have less claim to the label ‘love letter’, are compared with more clear-cut examples. A series of case studies focuses on individual letters and letter-collections. Some case studies situate their subjects within the history and literary evolution of the love letter, using both intertextuality and comparative approaches; others placing them in their cultural and historical contexts, particularly uncovering the contribution of epistolarity to erotic discourse, and to the history of sexuality and gender in diverse eras and locations within Classical to Late Antiquity.

Long before there were e-mail emoticons for love hearts and flirtatious text messages and photos sent via cell phone satellite, one had to actually try to articulate feelings of love and desire in real words and sentences. The love letter these days often seems like a lost art form, when even those of us who might wish to enclose sentiments in an envelope can turn to the assistance of Hallmark cards. But love letters are not just the made-up stuff of novels; once upon a time handwritten letters facilitated some of the most intimate exchanges between lovers. This beautiful book from the British Library celebrates two thousand years of love letter history, from ancient Egypt to the present day. Included here are facsimile reproductions of twenty-five letters, which are fully transcribed along with engaging commentaries about the correspondents and their circumstances and portraits of the writers and recipients. Love Letters includes correspondence by figures such as Henry VIII, Charles Dickens, Charlotte Brontë, Admiral Nelson, Oscar Wilde, and Mervyn Peake. The words of love letters allow us insights into the private relationships of people across centuries, cultures, and continents, and the original manuscripts of such letters grant the reader a direct connection with the author of such personal words. A perfect gift for any beloved, this charming book may inspire many to pick up a pen and record some passionate missives of their own.

My Dearest Love, Love Letters From Him To Her is the first edition of the My Dearest Love series of books. This edition is a collection of love letters that I collected from men across America. The letters are written to mothers, wives, daughters, and girlfriends. This book is a letter, that I write to you on each chapter page telling you where I collected the letters for that particular chapter. This book will show you the many faces of love. Like a farmer from Iowa who's been in, a more than 60-year love affair with his wife. Or a young LA. gang member, who is experiencing real love for the first time and struggles with that ancient art of writing a love letter. One man wrote a beautiful letter and ended it with, "I love you your soon to be ex-husband." A man wrote a letter that was a marriage proposal, and I got the response. This book will grab you from the very first letter. I wrote a symbolic letter to my mother who passed away when I was 12 years old to introduce my wife and my first born who is her namesake. All of the men were proud to donate their letters for this book. One man wrote two of the same letters, one for the book, the other to put on his wife's grave. She was killed by a drunk driver just before he wrote it. This book is real raw emotions. Some of the letters will bring joy to your heart, other will bring a tear to your eye. (CAUTION) Ordering this book may inspire the person in your life to write you love letters. Future editions planned for the My Dearest Love series will be love letters from Her to Him, From LGBTQ Him to Him, from LGBTQ Her to Her, and My Dearest Love, Grandparents Edition. If you would like to submit a love letter and become a part of this love community you will find the information on the last page of the first edition My Dearest Love, Love Letters From Him To Her book.

To Jane Welsh Carlyle love letters were 'paper kisses', to Mary Wordsworth the 'beating of thy inmost heart upon paper'. Passion, longing, the desolation of unrequited love or the end of an affair are some of the consuming emotions in this ravishing compendium which reveals the enduring power of the love affair to produce ardent and often unguarded personal writing. From Emily Dickinson to Anais Nin, Anne Boleyn to the Empress Josephine, a miner's wife writing to her dead husband to prisoners of war in a Russian jail writing to friends and family, as well as contemporary figures such as Winnie Mandela and poets Suniti Namjoshi and Gillian Hanscombe, all wrote marvellous, highly charged love letters. With the promise of intimate glimpses into the writers' hearts, this anthology delivers Virginia Woolf at her wittiest, Colette in ardent and dreamy mood, Simone de Beauvoir at her most private and provocative, and many others. 'As we head down the super-highway of email and fax, we shall all need instruction in this old-fashioned art' Aisling Foster, TLS

There was a time when people communicated through letters-- and when it came to expressing their love, the correspondence brimmed with heartwarming, endearing love letters. Sometimes these letters were beginnings of tempestuous, controversial, clandestine love affairs and soon cultivated into relationships that lasted a lifetime, and at other times they were mere feverish rants, the intensity diminishing as soon as it had escalated. No matter who they were-- scholars, kings, queens, writers, painters-- they all fell passionately and irrevocably in love, their letters capturing their happiness, longing, insecurity, and even suspicion and distrust. We bring together a treasure trove of hundred beautiful letters from around the world in our edition. Beginning with Pliny the Younger, the magistrate of Ancient Rome, pining for his wife as he lay awake at night, and ending with Virginia Woolf' s confession that her lady love' s mere presence was intoxicating and even ' physically stimulating' , the letters are accompanied by their profound love stories, telling a tale of how their love began, what turmoil it faced, and in some cases, why it ended.

From the private papers of Mark Twain and Mozart to those of Robert Browning and Nelson, Love Letters of Great Men collects together some of the most romantic letters in history. Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is edited and introduced by publisher Ursula Doyle. For some of these great men, love is a ‘delicious poison’ (William Congreve); for others, love can scorch like the heat of the sun (Henry VIII), or penetrate the depths of one’s heart like a cooling rain (Flaubert). Every shade of love is here, from the exquisite eloquence of Oscar Wilde and the simple devotion of Robert Browning, to the wonderfully modern misery of the Roman Pliny the Younger. Taken together, these Love Letters of Great Men show that perhaps men haven’t changed so very much over the last 2,000 years; passion, jealousy, hope and longing are all represented described here – as is the simple pleasure of sending a letter to, and receiving one from, the person you love most.
