Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, a compelling collection of letters, exposes the inner struggles of a 17th-century noblewoman caught in a fierce battle for the hearts of her children. Originally penned to her husband, these letters reveal the heartbreaking turmoil of a mother whose spouse and children seem to have fallen under the influence of the family governess. Thus, the author finds herself fighting on all fronts, struggling to maintain not only her relationship with her husband but also her role as a parent. More than a personal narrative, the letters shed light on the societal norms and gender roles that governed the lives of the elite during this tumultuous period. In many ways, this book is a treatise on themes of betrayal, fidelity, loyalty, infidelity, and the contrasting roles of men and women in marriage and society at large, making it essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the history of gender dynamics and the nature of power struggles within familial relationships.
