520			_a"The Love Letters of Dorothy Osborne to Sir William Temple, 1652-54" by Edward Abbott Parry is a historical collection of correspondence written in the mid-17th century. These letters offer an intimate glimpse into the romance between Dorothy Osborne and Sir William Temple during a turbulent period in English history, marked by the aftermath of the Civil War and the shifting political tides. The letters detail their courtship, illustrating not only their personal feelings but also the societal expectations and family pressures they faced. At the start of the collection, we are introduced to Dorothy Osborne's vibrant personality as she navigates the challenges of love, family, and societal expectations. The opening letters set the scene in Chicksands, detailing Dorothy's engagements, her relationship with her family, and her feelings towards Temple. She expresses her reluctance to enter into an arranged marriage while dealing with the pressures from suitors such as Sir Justinian Isham and the playful courtship nuances involving her family members. Throughout her correspondence, Dorothy's wit and intelligence shine through, revealing a passionate young woman who is deeply in love yet keenly aware of the political and personal complexities surrounding her relationship with Temple.
