Summary | "Italian Letters of a Diplomat's Wife: January-May, 1880; February-April, 1904" by Mary King Waddington is a collection of personal letters written in the late 19th century. The work captures the author's experiences as the wife of a diplomat, detailing her travels and life in Italy, particularly her time spent in Rome during two distinct periods. The letters provide an intimate and engaging glimpse into the social and cultural milieu of the time, featuring characters such as her husband, William Henry Waddington, and various acquaintances from the diplomatic and cultural spheres. The opening portion of the book introduces Madame Waddington's life as she adjusts from being a public figure as the wife of the French Prime Minister to enjoying a more private existence after his resignation. As she describes her move from Paris to Italy, she provides rich details about their travel preparations and the reactions of family and friends. The letters are filled with her thoughts on returning to familiar places, her observations of daily life, and her anticipation for the adventures that await her in Italy. The vivid descriptions evoke a sense of nostalgia and foreshadow the delightful explorations and cultural encounters that characterize her time in Rome.
