  An inspirational and highly entertaining collection of letters from women - both fictional and real - whose romances have gone awry and ended emotionally. Encompassing a wide range of feelings and writing styles, Hell Hath No Fury is filled with mad missives, caustic communiques, sweet send-offs and other brilliant break-up letters. Organised by theme, circumstance and tone, and arranged chronologically within each chapter, these intriguing letters span history from 10 BC to the present day. From Anne Boleyn's letter to Henry VIII defending her virtue, to Sylvia Plath's writings to her lover Phil McCurdy expressing her wish to maintain a platonic relationship, Hell Hath No Fury includes a wide variety of entries from Anais Nin, Edith Wharton, Queen Elizabeth I, Charlotte Bronte, Virginia Woolf and many more.
