Abstract

“Networks” have become a ubiquitous model for understanding the interrelationships between individuals, objects, ideas, allowing for the mapping of complex patterns of dependency, influence, and independence. Letters naturally reflect, create, and sustain networks of people, although when these survive in fragmented ways or through the medium of other genres, it may be difficult to determine the social realities behind them. Nonetheless, the study of epistolary contacts allows for the mapping of relationships and affinities that are more fluid and multiple than older models of fixed identities and rigid group belonging
