Lettres Portugaises, attributed to Marianna Alcoforado, a 17th-century Portuguese nun, are presented here with the Lettres Nouvelles, attributed to Gabriel Joseph de Lavergne, Comte de Guilleragues. The collection offers readers a glimpse into the passionate and articulate voice of a woman expressing her love and suffering. These letters are a cornerstone of French literature, demonstrating the power of the epistolary form to convey deep emotion and explore complex relationships. The enduring appeal of Lettres Portugaises lies in their raw emotional honesty and the universality of their themes of love, loss, and longing, ensuring their continued relevance for generations of readers.
