Add to ORKGA survey of the role played by the genre of the letter in early modern literature and culture. I discuss the nature of early modern epistographical theory, arguing that letter-writers in the period were pulled in three directions: by the medieval ars dictaminis, geared to the registering of hierarchical social distinctions, by Renaissance rhetorical theory, and by the revived theory of the 'familiar' letter.
