Through an analysis of a broad corpus of correspondences, novels and paintings, this book aims to re-establish the relevance of letter writing within Victorian culture. In an age of postal reforms and innovations, the representation of love letters in art and literature mirrored new understandings of communication but also of love and marriage.
