What are some good Epistolary books?

[Red Terror]

I don't think strictly speaking The Woman in White is epistolary, ie written in letters. It is a series of memoirs by different narrators, collected after the events.

Evelina by Fanny Burney is in letters (I haven't read it) as is Jane Austen's early Lady Susan.

I thought Humphrey Clinker was sweet and I'm sorry I'd forgotten it. As I remember, the letters are from a wider range of personalities than in Pamela or Clarissa - for all its length, there are only four significant correspondents in Clarissa - Clarissa, Lovelace and their confidantes.

If those memoirs were shipped over the mail then they were in fact, and law, and in theory "epistolary". LOL!!!

how come no one recommended Letters to a young poet
