Book Description
Absence may truly make the heart grow fonder. Presented as love letters from an anonymous Englishwoman to her far-away lover, this is the story of a passionate courtship and its tragic end. The formality of the letters only serves to underline the raw passion that hides between the lines. An Englishwoman's Love-letters is the controvsial 1900 novel in letters by Laurence Housman, and was initially published anonymously. An account by a woman who with her lover were equally the victims of circumstances, which, so far as one of the two was concerned, remained a mystery to the day of her death. It was a scandal in its time due to its frankness, which excitement turned to disappointment as the public learned the author was no Englishwoman.

Book Description
Book Excerpt: . My own, you are my very own! And yet, true as that is, it is not so true as that I am your own. It is less absolute, I mean; and must be so, because I cannot very well take possession of anything when I am given over heart and soul out of my own possession: there isn't enough identity left in me, I am yours so much, so much! All this is useless to say, yet what can I say else, if I have to begin saying anything? Could I truly be your "star and goddess," as you call me, Beloved, I would do you the service of Thetis at least (who did it for a greater than herself)-- "Bid Heaven and Earth combine their charms, And round you early, round you late, Briareus fold his hundred arms To guard you from your single fate." But I haven't got power over an eight-armed octopus even: so am merely a very helpless loving nonentity which merges itself most happily in you, and begs to be lifted to no pedestal at all, at all. If you love me in a manner that is at all possible, you wi Read More
