""Madam, it is in your power to take me off this rack...."" -- JOHN
RUSSELL TO LADY FRANCES RICH, COUNTESS OF WARWICK
This lavishly illustrated tribute includes marriage proposals
spanning seven hundred years, all delivered in the form of love
letters. Each of these enchanting missives illustrates the unique
sensibilities of the time period in which it was written, from the
commanding negotiations of the Gothic age to the beautifully
written declarations promising eternal devotion of the Renaissance
and beyond.
Unabashedly nostalgic -- not to mention irresistibly romantic --
"Will You Marry Me?" transports modern-day lovers to a time gone
by, when ordinary people and historical figures alike poured their
hearts onto the page for their soul mates. Jonathan Swift, Sir
Walter Scott, Victor Hugo, Friedrich Nietzsche, and King Henry VIII
(to Anne Boleyn and Jane Seymour) are represented in this diverse
and enormously entertaining collection.
"Will You Marry Me?" is for members of any generation, from
those who are hopeless romantics at heart to amateur history buffs
who long for a glimpse of the past. Whether there is a proposal in
your future or just the wistful dream of a secret admirer, this
timeless collection combining history and romance is one to
cherish.
