Valentine postcards

What gesture could be more passionate than sending your loved one a romantic biography from the Oxford DNB to read or download and listen to on a computer or mp3 player?

We've picked two biographies from the Oxford DNB, which, in their different ways, capture the spirit of Valentine's Day. Lead your loved ones to our special page (or email the link to that page—instructions below) and watch them swoon.
