| Summary | "An Englishwoman's Love-Letters" by Laurence Housman is a collection of love letters likely written in the late 19th century. This epistolary work presents intimate correspondences from an unnamed Englishwoman to her beloved, detailing her thoughts, emotions, and experiences surrounding love and longing. The letters reveal the complexity and depth of her feelings, portraying love as both a source of joy and vulnerability. The opening of this work introduces the letters as personal reflections that were never intended for public consumption. The narrator expresses her surprise at the request to share them with the world while emphasizing that the narrative is steeped in her profound devotion. The first few letters convey her initial confessions of love, the nuances of their relationship, and the impact her feelings have had on her life. She muses on her emotional journey, hinting at an underlying tension and the challenges of love, indicating that her affection has existed long before it was reciprocated. This poignant exploration invites readers to witness the beauty and intricacies of romantic connection through the lens of the writer's heartfelt correspondence.
