Absence may truly make the heart grow fonder. Presented as love letters from an anonymous Englishwoman to her far-away lover, this is the story of a passionate courtship and its tragic end. The formality of the letters only serves to underline the raw passion that hides between the lines. An Englishwoman's Love-letters is the controvsial 1900 novel in letters by Laurence Housman, and was initially published anonymously. An account by a woman who with her lover were equally the victims of circumstances, which, so far as one of the two was concerned, remained a mystery to the day of her death. It was a scandal in its time due to its frankness, which excitement turned to disappointment as the public learned the author was no Englishwoman.
