About This Project

Love Letters
2000 years of romance
The British Library

‘Letters that reveal raw emotions such as joyous or unrequited love are gold dust’
The Telegraph

‘The first ever anthology to reproduce original love letters in each of the writers’ own hand.’

‘Drawing on the British Library’s archives, the selection ranges from ancient Egypt to 20th-century England. The facsimiles of the manuscripts are revealing: quirks of handwriting, deletions, tear stains, expressive doodles. Carefully constructed or dashed out in passionate haste, these intimate missives celebrate Eros in its many facets: infatuation, companionship, heartbreak and loss.’
The Lady Magazine
