Description
Summary:	Isabella (1740-1805) is best known for four novels portraying provincial courtship, marriage, and domestic life. At age 20 she began a clandestine correspondence with Constant (1722-85), middle-aged Swiss colonel stationed in Holland, a friend of Voltaire, an accomplished musician, amateur writer, and lady's man. The correspondence lasted over 15 years, is almost all extant, and ranges through many social and political issues of the day as well as personal events and concerns. The Whatley's annotate and provide biographical sketches of people mentioned. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
