Book excerpt: When Florence Nightingale returned from the Crimean War, broken in health and requiring seclusion, she was befriended and attended to by prominent Oxford scholar Benjamin Jowett. Dear Miss Nightingale collects for the first time in a single volume his correspondence to her, in which he offered constant encouragement and kept her in touch with the trends of the times and the social movements of London drawing rooms. More than a sensitive testament of an enduring friendship between two eminent Victorians, these letters offer insight into the subtleties of the social life of the period.
