Abstract

[Exerpt from Introduction]: While personal letter writing is no longer a primary mode of communication for most people in contemporary Britain and North America, within some contexts it may still emerge as a surprisingly powerful channel for self-expression and for pursuing relationships. Particularly when people are socially isolated, they may turn to letter writing as one of the only channels available for contact with others.
