Whether describing the Turkish baths in Sofia or the London social scene, negotiating her marriage settlement or declaring her passion for a young Italian, Lady Mary Wortley Montagu (1689-1762) wrote some of the liveliest letters in the English language. Ranging over everything from gossip to politics, science to literature, they reveal very different aspects of her personality to her husband, sister and female circle, to her beloved daughter and her errant son. The famous Embassy Letters from Constantinople were designed for publication, yet most are vividly personal. Several letters in this volume have never before appeared in print (one full of exuberant chamber-pot humour and another mocking men as 'vile inconstant toads'). In this superb selection, Isobel Grundy has included examples from every significant correspondence so as to do full justice 'to Montagu the writer, thinker and feminist, and to Lady Mary the friend and family member, the idealistic girl and sardonic old woman'.

Excerpt from The Best Letters of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu These letters of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu are selected from the edition of W. Moy Thomas, which is based on Lord Wharncliffe's edition of 1837, printed mainly from the original letters. In selecting, the editor has had in view, first, the literary attractiveness of the letters; secondly, the light they throw on Lady Mary's personality; thirdly, their value as free-hand pictures of the time. Comments and notes of the previous editors, Mr. Thomas or Lord Wharncliffe, may be distinguished by their initials. It is needless to say that no pretensions to scholarship are made by this little volume. I have sometimes found it necessary to omit portions of letters, but I have not presumed to chasten Lady Mary's style, any more than I have ventured to alter her eighteenth-century grammar.

Immensely learned, self-educated in an era when formal schooling was denied to women, Mary Wortley Montagu was an admired poet, a consistently scandalous doyenne of eighteenth-century London society, and, in a period when letter-writing had been elevated to an art form, one of the greatest letter writers in the English language. Her epistles, meant for both public and private consumption, are the product of a mind distinguished by its adventurousness, its indifference to convention, and its eagerness not only to acquire knowledge but to convey it with unmitigated style and grace.
