From the private papers of Jane Austen and Mozart to those of Anne
Boleyn and Nelson, "Love Letters of Great Men and Women" collects
together some of the most romantic letters in history. For some of
these great men, love is a 'delicious poison' (William Congreve);
for others, 'a nice soft wife on a sofa with good fire, & books
& music' (Charles Darwin). Love can scorch like the heat of the
sun (Henry VIII), or penetrate the depths of one's heart like a
cooling rain (Flaubert). But what about the other side of the
story? What of the secret hopes and lives of some of the greatest
women in history? Taken together, these love letters show that
perhaps little has changed over the last 2,000 years. Passion,
jealousy, hope and longing are all represented here - as is the
simple pleasure of sending a letter to, and receiving one from, the
person you love most. Includes letters by: Anne Boleyn * Beethoven
* Edith Wharton * Mark Twain * Mary Wordsworth * Nell Gwyn
(mistress of Charles II) * Elizabeth Barrett Browning * GK
Chesterton * Queen Victoria * Napoleon Bonaparte * The Empress
Josephine * Mary Wollstonecraft * Amadeus Mozart * Katherine
Mansfield Praise for "Love Letters of Great Men": 'The most
romantic book ever' "Daily Mail" 'Inspired by the "Sex and the
City" movie... Famous men caught with pen in hand and heart in
mouth' "The Times"
