Egodocuments are cherished because of the view they supposedly
provide into the innermost feelings of individuals in past and
present. Recent research, however, has shown the complexity of
genres like autobiographies, diaries and letters. Building on
critical and historical research into autobiographical writing,
this book describes epistolary practices of the Dutch elite in the
period 1770-1850. Analysing how cultural ideals of sincerity,
individuality and naturalness influenced the style and contents of
letters, the book also addresses the functions of letter writing in
family life, like the formation of an adolescent identity and the
relationship between parents and children. Correspondence was a
vital means by which class and gender identities were performed and
the appropriate emotions were shaped.
