Osborne and Temple, both in their early twenties, shared a romance that was opposed by their families, and Osborne herself was almost constantly under surveillance. Osborne's letters provide a rare glimpse into an early modern woman's life at a pivotal point, as she tried to find a way to marry for love as well as fulfil her obligations to her family.Combining historical and biographical research with feminist theory, Carrie Hintz considers Osborne's vision of letter writing, her literary achievement, and her literary influences. Osborne has long been overlooked as a writer, making a comprehensive and thorough analysis long overdue. While the nineteenth-century reception of the letters is testament to the enduring public fascination with restrained love narratives, Osborne's eloquent and outspoken articulation of her expectations and desires also makes her letters compelling in our own time. 606 $aWomen$zGreat Britain$y17th century$vSources 607 $aGreat Britain$xSocial life and customs$y17th century$vSources 615 0$aWomen 676 $a941.06092 700 $aHintz$b Carrie$f1970-$01463742 701 $aOsborne$b Dorothy$f1627-1695.$01463743 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780529503321 996 $aAn audience of one$93673131 997 $aUNINA
