La presente edizione contiene una raccolta di lettere di Verdi degli anni 1843 fino al 1900 in gran parte sconosciute secondo la prescrizione critico-storica. La documentazione include anche il primo testamento del 1898 e delle lettere della seconda moglie di Verdi, Giuseppina Strepponi-Verdi. Le lettere ed i documenti presentati, che si trovano in una collezione privata, rivelano degli elementi illuminanti non solo sulla vita di Giuseppe Verdi come artista e come uomo, ma anche sulla storia dell'opera lirica del XIX secolo. L'edizione delle lettere è preceduta da una ricca introduzione bilingue (italiano ed inglese) che discute in dettaglio gli aspetti più importanti delle lettere qui presentate e le situa nel contesto più amplio della ricerca attuale su Verdi e le sue opere.
