Although better known for her letters to men such as Samuel Johnson, Hester Lynch, Piozzi's letters to Penelope Pennington show her intimate side. Of her, Boswell said 'to hear you is to hear Wisdom, to see you is to see Virtue'.
This edition covers the circumstances under which they were written and the background of the characters in the work.
Little is known about Oswald G. Knapp, but he made a significant contribution to history in editing The Intimate Letters of Hester Piozzi and Penelope Pennington which provide a fascinating glimpse into life in the late Georgian period.
