The letters were written by author Kate Douglas Wiggin and were originally published in 1901. The book is divided into two parts: the first part contains letters written by Penelope while she was waiting for her husband, Odysseus, to return from the Trojan War, and the second part contains letters written after his return. The letters provide insight into Penelope's thoughts and feelings during her long separation from her husband and her struggles to maintain her household and raise their son, Telemachus, in his absence. The book also explores themes of love, loyalty, and perseverance. Overall, Penelope's Postscripts is a unique and engaging portrayal of one of the most famous women in Greek mythology.Salemina and I were in Geneva. If you had ever travelled through Europe with a charming spinster who never sat down at a Continental table d'hote without being asked by an American vis-a-vis whether she were one of the P.'s of Salem, Massachusetts, you would understand why I call my friend Salemina. She doesn't mind it. She knows that I am simply jealous.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
