Seventy-seven letters from an upper-class English woman to her paramour offer a window in to a courtship that, the editor argues, are marked by the intelligence of the writer and her insistence of being treated as an intellectual equal. Explanatory notes and an introduction discussing the importance of the letters for understanding gender politics in 17th century England accompany the letters. Appendices present letters from after the marriage, genealogies, and other contextual information. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.
