Description:
Collections of letters tend to be dreary affairs, often mismarriages of faux-biography and social history. Constance Jones's The Love of Friends, however, is a constant delight. Featuring more than a 100 correspondents--from Sappho to Lawrence of Arabia, Margaret Fuller to John Cheever--it chronicles a range of affection and passion that defines the breadth and depth of love. A marvel of research, The Love of Friends consistently surprises with its wit and intelligent attention to detail. Jones's classification of "same-sex affection" is wide ranging and the collection contains letters from Robert Louis Stevenson, Amelia Earhart, and Isadora Duncan. Less a history than a celebration of devoted empathy and love, The Love of Friends startles and moves us in unexpected ways.
