by ROBERT BALDICK
Fellow of Pembroke College. Oxford
After 300 years of speculation the truth about the Portuguese Letters has been established. Dr. Baldick tells the story of how this detective work was done and how it has been conclusively proved that it was not a nun who wrote the famous letters but a French writer-Vicomte de Guilleragues.
Two extracts from the letters read by JILL BALCON
