1914. Dorothy Osborne's sole literary remains consist of a slim
book of 77 letters written to her husband-to-be, Sir William
Temple, during their courtship, plus 9 letters written after their
marriage. The letters are brilliantly written and show a flair for
self-examination. They form almost a novel in themselves, and
subsequent readers have found them both fascinating and
stylistically charming. It has won its place among readers as a
beautiful autograph portrait of a virtuous, amiable, and sensible
woman, who, by the natural charm of her literary-style, is as much
alive today as she was to the squires and shepherds and carriers of
the English countryside which was her beloved home.
