Re: Letters and Epistolary Novels

Join us for a fascinating exploration of the rich history of letter writing and its impact on communication and social engagement. Discussion will be cast through a historical lens, focusing on how the rise of letter writing transformed personal connections, paving the way for the epistolary novel, a novel written in the form of letters, exemplified by Les Liaisons Dangereuses.

Through a comparison of traditional letter writing to today’s texting culture, panellists will explore the psychology behind our preference for written communication, but also the misunderstandings it often brings.
