A Book of Condolences: Classic Letters of Bereavement

Description of Rachel Harding, author of A Book of Condolences:

Classic Letters of Bereavement. The universal, tender subject of the loss of a loved one is portrayed in this unique selection of letters of sympathy exchanged between historically famous men and women and their family and friends. The editors have assembled the personal letters-and their replies-of such preeminent figures as Cicero, Coleridge, Queen Victoria, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Mann, C.S.Lewis and more than fifty others throughout the ages. Concise, explanatory background sketches accompany these letters. A perfect reference book for those who may have to write such letters themselves.
