The Element of Lavishness: Letters of William… by Sylvia Townsend Warner

I dote on volumes of selected correspondence. I snapped up this remaindered book not even knowing who these people were or who they had been, because I've found that just such long-distance conversations between highly cultured and intelligent people can get you into the warp, weft and threads of the past like nothing else. The mileaux that were... The reactions to the Cuban Missile Crisis, etc., fascinate me.
