LETTERS FROM THE TIME OF PLAGUE

Summary/Abstract: Containing interesting details about the dreadful scourge or mentioning the interest of the contemporary fellows with regard to the evolution of the epidemic, the letters of that time present only glimpses from the life of those who lived during the cholera. The concerns for the health of those close to them, a constant that can be observed in many of the letters of the time, whose first lines were meant to the news and the questions related to the health state, was increasing within the context of the epidemic threat. Precisely on this affective side lays the importance of the documentary resources presented now, as they play the role to complete and to cover a quite large volume of the documentary testimonies concerning the plague, which in general present an admi-nistrative character and lack the emotional charge that the personal documents have.
