In a period which elevated correspondence to an art-form, Mary Wortley Montagu was one of the greatest letter-writers in the English language. Self-educated and formidably learned, she was also an admired poet and a brilliant society hostess. Her letters, meant for both public and private consumption, are the product of a mind distinguished by its adventurousness, its indifference to convention, and its eagerness not only to acquire knowledge but to convey it with unmitigated style and grace.

Keep your belief going, no matter what it takes'the thought not occurring that a belief that needs this much work to believe in isn't really a belief but a very strong desire to believe."
-Adam Gopnik
