Before emails and instant messages, letters carried carefully chosen words into the world. Postscript: Life, Love and Loss in Australian Letters draws on the National Library of Australia’s vast archives to present a rich selection of historic correspondence alongside new letters by contemporary Australian writers inspired by them. Featuring original letters from figures such as Jane Austen, Judith Wright, and Henry Lawson and modern reflections from writers including Kate Forsyth and Ranjana Srivastava, the collection explores love, creativity, politics, ageing, and everyday life. In a digital age, Postscript celebrates the enduring emotional power of the written letter and may inspire readers to pick up the pen once more.
