From the private papers of Anne Boleyn and Emily Dickinson to those of Empress Joséphine and Queen Victoria, Leve Letters of Great Wemen is an anthology of some of the most romantic letters in history.
Some are full of longing and passion; some seem astonishingly contemporary in their outlook; others demonstrate how affairs of the heart could irrevocably alter the course of a woman's whole life, as witnessed by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu's anguished cry to her beloved before their elopement in 1712: 'I tremble for what we are doing. Are you sure you will love me for ever? I fear, and I hope.'
A perfect companion to the bestselling Love Letters of Great Men, this collection gives us the other side of the story: the secret desires of some of the greatest women in history, from writers and artists to actresses and queens. The love written here comes in many forms - deluded, erotic, fervent, bold - but love it is, and a legacy to cherish.
