Russell's letters span 70 years, from the late Victorian age to the 1960s, and range from private love letters to impassioned pleas to political leaders to technical philosophical letters. His correspondents include the Bloomsbury set, the great international political figures of the 20th century, writers and philosophers, and ordinary members of the public. This volume contains a variety of Bertrand Russell's letters, offering vignettes of his family, his friends, public figures, his personal and public life and other topics such as transfinite arithmetic and votes for women.
