Summary note

Explores the concept of solitude by dramatizing its critical predicaments in letters written through the voices of mythical, literary, religious, scientific, and historical figures from antiquity through the twentieth century. Based on the archival and documentary record where it exists, each letter is introduced with explanatory context--philological in the case of mythological figures and historical when historical persons are purported to be writing.
