Letters as a literary form

Letters as a literary form are written communications that serve to tell stories, express ideas, or convey emotions through personal or fictional correspondence. They often reveal characters' thoughts and relationships, providing insight into their personalities and circumstances. Used historically and in literature, letters can stand alone as artful expressions or be part of a larger narrative, offering an intimate glimpse into the human experience. This form emphasizes voice and perspective, allowing readers to connect directly with the writer's voice and intent.
