Definition of Epistolary
Epistolary comes from a Greek word, epistolē, which means letter. Epistolary is a literary genre pertaining to letters, in which writers use letters, journals and diary entries in their works, or they tell their stories or deliver messages through a series of letters. Though the usual format of epistolary is letters, however, sometimes writers use other forms of documents such as newspaper clippings and diary entries. Recently, you can see electronic documents like emails, blogs, radio and recordings have come into use in writings.
Examples of Epistolary in Literature
Example 1
Alice Walker’s novel, The Color Purple, is a good example of an epistolary novel that an impoverished black teenage girl, Celie, tells through writing letters to both; her sister as well as God, thus readers can hear about the difficult life of Celie through her words and the direct experiences she has faced. Alice Walker has chosen to let the readers know this story by using voice of Celie, providing Celie a power that she could not have in everyday life. However, in film adaptation of this novel, these letters echoed through the monologues of characters.
Function of Epistolary
Epistolary form could add realism in a narrative, as it imitates the real life workings. It is therefore able to describe different point of views. The primary function of this form of writing is that readers can get an intimate view of characters’ feelings and thoughts and develop a direct connection with the events through letters without interference of the author. This technique thus makes the literary piece a real experience for the readers. Also, presentation of events from different viewpoint gives the story verismilitude and dimensions.
