About the book

The Letters of Dorothy Osborne to Sir William Temple offer an intimate and engaging record of a seventeenth-century courtship. Written during the years before their marriage, Dorothy's letters reveal her intelligence, wit and strong personality as she discusses family pressures, social expectations and her devotion to Temple. Beyond the love story, the letters provide a valuable glimpse into the private world of an educated woman in seventeenth-century England. Their natural voice and personal detail make them both historically important and unusually vivid as a portrait of character and affection.
