"Richardson's New London fashionable gentleman's valentine writer, or, the Lover's own book for this year" by Thomas Richardson is a collection of valentine verses published during the early 19th century. This charming book is designed as a practical guide for individuals seeking to express their romantic sentiments through written communication, specifically for Valentine's Day. It encapsulates the essence of love and courtship prevalent in that period, reflecting societal norms, sentiments, and conventions surrounding romantic relationships. The content of the book features a selection of original and popular valentines, accompanied by suitable responses that range from earnest expressions of affection to playful banter. Each valentine captures various voices—from a humble tradesman to a gentleman—exploring themes of love, aspiration, and societal status. The verses encapsulate both romantic declarations and their corresponding responses, illustrating the dynamics of courtship. Some answers graciously accept the love professed, while others tactfully decline, providing a snapshot of love's complexities and the human heart's whims. This collection serves not only as a delightful reading experience but also as a creative wellspring for those wishing to articulate their feelings through poetry during Valentine's celebrations.
