Reviews

We write letters, like our ancestors, for many reasons: love letters, consolation letters, suicide letters. This book reveals letter-writing as a way of doing emotion. Covering human history from the Roman period to our times, we learn about the changing taxonomies and traditions of conveying feelings through written conversation. * Ute Frevert, Professor of History and Director em. at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin, Germany *
