The real-life love story of the British aristocrats Dorothy Osborne and Sir William Temple has become a legend. After refusing a long string of suitors including her cousin Thomas Osborne Henry Cromwell (son of Lord Protector Oliver Cromwell) and Sir Justinian Isham in 1654 Dorothy Osborne married Sir William Temple the love of her life. Before they had carried on a lengthy courtship that was largely epistolary. The letters to Temple presented here were witty progressive and socially illuminating making them celebrated as the high-value works of literature. Unfortunately only Osborne's side of the correspondence survived. Today it is a collection of 77 letters held in the British Library.
