Summary/Abstract: The aim of this research is to analyse the 19th century from the unique perspective of the development of the feeling of intimacy, which led to the explosion of confessive literature. Writing and sending correspondence are essential actions of this age full of fundamental paradoxes. As a social and biographical document, the letter is a space of identity construction, allowing epistoliers to build their own patterns of existence.
