"Dr. Karen Tipper, the author of a critical biography of Lady Jane Wilde and the editor of four volumes of her collected letters, clearly has the expertise to guide future editors through the demanding but rewarding task of editing letters. This work is also a thoughtful and fascinating study of lives written in letters." - Professor .Mary A. T rattler; Nichols College.
