Covering all the moods of love, from nervous hope to passion spent, the letters in this collection range through flirtation, adoration, intoxication and confession, to warning, reproach and parting. With letters from Napoleon and Nelson, Kafka and Keats, Byron and Mozart, Lucrezia Borgia and Zelda Fitzgerald, they range in style from literary masterpiece to blunt entreaty, and in time from the Middle Ages to the present. This anthology complements the volumes of Love Poems and Erotic Poems in the same series to present a complete and original portrait of love.
