Description

This book is a modern edition of an Anglo-Scottish epistolary classic, drawn from the authoritative scholarly edition.

The letters of Jane Welsh Carlyle are works of art in themselves but also shed light on the Victorian age and the experience of women within it.

They are arranged chronologically alongside biographical summary, and include her correspondence concerning a large range of Victorian intellectuals and other identities, from Mazzini to Dickens, Elizabeth Barrett Browning to Ruskin, and Tennyson to George Eliot.

The letters are commonly regarded as among the liveliest in the language, alongside those of Byron, Keats, Henry James and Virginia Woolf, and are a key document in feminist history, and the history of female authorship.
