520 |a Epistolary Responses explores the transformative nature of epistolary fiction and criticism in letter form from a largely feminist perspective.

The novels discussed, all featuring women letter writers, include: Lee Smith's Fair and Tender Ladies, John Barth's LETTERS, Alice Walker's The Color Purple, John Updike's S., Jean Webster's Daddy-Long-Legs, Upton Sinclair's Another Pamela.
