About Letters of a Portuguese Nun
Letters of a Portuguese Nun is an epistolary novel consisting of five letters written by Marianne, a Portuguese nun, to an unnamed French soldier with whom she is hopelessly infatuated. Over the course of the five letters, Marianne gradually realizes that her feelings are unrequited, but throughout them all she never hesitates to express herself candidly and wholeheartedly, and never censors herself for the sake of propriety. The letters came to be seen as quintessential love letters in the decades following their publication, but although they were originally thought to be authentic, they are now believed to be a work of fiction written by the French diplomat Gabriel de Guilleragues.
About Gabriel de Guilleragues
Gabriel de Guilleragues was a French diplomat and writer who held important political positions in both Bordeaux and Paris before being chosen as the French ambassador to the Ottoman court in 1677. He is also widely believed to have authored Letters of a Portuguese Nun (1669), a work of epistolary fiction which was published anonymously and believed to be a translation of authentic correspondence until the 20th century, when new research revealed that the novel was presumably fictional and Guilleragues the most likely author.This practical and insightful reading guide offers a complete summary and analysis of Letters of a Portuguese Nun by Gabriel de Guilleragues.
