18th Century letters

There's been a long delay in posting... I do apologize. I'm at the end of the semester and have been working on a number of projects: motivation in learning as a complex adaptive system, a machinima version of Coleridge's Kubla Khan, and a look at the use of letters in Restoration and Enlightenment British drama. Right now I'm looking at the letter-writing scene in William Wycherly's The Country Wife and the letter-ripping scene in Nicholas Rowe's The Fair Penitent as scenes of establishing authority through authorship. If anyone out there can think of any other scenes that might potentially fit into this theme, please post!
